Traces of microplastics and hazardous chemicals
found in majority of snow and ice samples taken
earlier this year.
Plastic and traces of hazardous chemicals have
been found in Antarctica, one of the world’s last
great wildernesses, according to a new study.
Researchers spent three months taking water and
snow samples from remote areas of the continent
earlier this year.
These have now been analysed and researchers
have confirmed the majority contained “persistent
hazardous chemicals” or microplastics.
The findings come amid growing concern about the
extent of the plastic pollution crisis which scientists
have warned risks “permanent contamination” of
the planet.
Earlier this week, the UN warned it is one of the

world’s biggest environmental threats and said
although 60 countries were taking urgent action
more needed to be done.
The new report by researchers at Greenpeace is
part of global campaign to create the world’s
biggest ocean sanctuary in the seas around
Antarctica to protect the fragile ecosystem from
industrial fishing and climate change.
Frida Bengtsson, of Greenpeace’s Protect the
Antarctic campaign, said the findings proved that
even the most remote areas of the planet were not
immune from the impact of manmade pollution.
“We need action at source, to stop these pollutants
ending up in the Antarctic in the first place, and we
need an Antarctic ocean sanctuary to give space
for penguins, whales and the entire ecosystem to
recover from the pressures they’re facing,” she
said.
Seven of the eight sea-surface water samples
tested contained microplastics such as microfibres.
Seven of the nine snow samples tested contained
detectable concentrations of the persistent

hazardous chemicals.
Researchers said the chemicals are widely used in
many industrial processes and consumer products
and have been linked to reproductive and
developmental issues in wildlife. They said the
snow samples gathered included freshly fallen
snow, suggesting the hazardous chemicals had
come from contaminated rain or snowfall.
Prof Alex Rogers, a specialist in sustainable
oceans at the Oxford Martin school, Oxford
University, said the discovery of plastics and
chemicals in Antarctica confirmed that manmade
pollutants were now affecting ecosystems in every
corner of the he warned the
consequences of this pervasive contamination
remained largely unknown.
“The big question now is what are the actual
consequences of finding this stuff here? Many of
these chemicals are pretty nasty and as they move
up the food chain they may be having serious
consequences for the health of wildlife, and
ultimately humans. The effects of microplastics on

marine life, likewise, are largely not understood,”
he said.
There is relatively little data on the extent of
microplastics in Antarctic waters, and researchers
said they hoped this new study would lead to a
greater understanding of the global extent of plastic
and chemical pollutants.
Bengtsson said: “Plastic has now been found in all
corners of our oceans, from the Antarctic to the
Arctic and at the deepest point of the ocean, the
Mariana trench. We need urgent action to reduce
the flow of plastic into our seas and we need
large-scale marine reserves – like a huge Antarctic
ocean sanctuary which over 1.6m people are
calling for – to protect marine life and our oceans
for future generations.”
