ANTARCTIC ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIMEN BANK - FIRST 5 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

摘要

The Project on an Antarctic Environmental Specimen Bank (Bank (Banca Campioni Ambientali Antartici- BCAA) began in 1994 in order to collect and classify samples from the Antarctic ecosystem to be Used for future studies. The objectives of the project are similar to the general aims of the Environmental Specimen Banks, but they specifically focus on the chemical aspects concerning the research activities of the Italian Project on the "Micropollutants Chemistry" (Sector "Chemical Contamination" of the Italian Antarctic Research Programme - PNRA).
