Collection of Updates on Antarctica Research
2024/12/11
Silicones Europe (SiE) and the Global Silicones Council (GSC) have jointly commissioned a monitoring study in the Antarctic to gather robust scientific data on cyclic Volatile Methylsiloxanes (cVMS) concentrations in Antarctica’s air, surface media and aquatic biota.
The study aims to address scientific uncertainties around potential long-range transport and the deposition of these substances in distant areas.
The series of bulletins provide updates on the collection of samples, the techniques used to analyse them and other important information.
