Constraints on transport and weathering of petroleum contamination at Casey Station, Antarctica Cold Regions Science and Technology, 2007 (Ref: 12931)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

There is a common perception that terrestrial fuel spills in Antarctica are long lived and that plumes naturally degrade very … slowly. However…

Petroleum hydrocarbons ten years after spillage at a helipad in Bunger Hills, East Antarctica. Antarctic Science, 1999 (Ref: 8897)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Surface and subsurface sediments from a helipad in Bunger Hills were collected ten years after accidental contamination with a small quantity (probably less than 10 litres) of petroleum products.

A field trial of in situ chemical oxidation to remediate long-term diesel contaminated Antarctic soil Cold Regions Science and Technology, 2004 (Ref: 11824)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

In situ chemical oxidation (ICO) has been identified as a potential technology for the remediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated sites in Antarctica.

Comparison of microbial mineralisation of petroleum hydrocarbons in Antarctic sediments by radiometric experiments and gas chromatography Australian Organic Geochemisty Conference. CSIRO Marine Laboratories, Hobart. 12-15 February 2002, 2002 (Ref: 10293)
Category 3: Abstract

A common technique for comparing the in situ microbial potential for mineralisation of petroleum hydrocarbons in different environments or under different remediation strategies, is by use of radiolabelled tracer studies.

Investigation of evaporation and biodegradation of fuel spills in Antarctica: I - a chemical approach using GC-FID Chemosphere, 2005 (Ref: 12320)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Abstract … Little effort has been devoted to differentiating between hydrocarbon losses through evaporation and biodegradation … in treatability studies of fuel-contaminated Antarctic soils. When natural attenuation is being considered as a treatment … option…
