摘要：

Surface and subsurface snow and ice samples from a remote site on the Antarctic Plateau near the Victoria Land Dry Valleys, Antarctica, have been analysed for mercury. Ultra-clean sampling techniques followed by on site extraction and analysis gave a mean result of 0.96 pg g-1 for surface snows, and 0.4 pg g-1 for samples from the 4.6 m deep pit. The results confirm the indications of a previous study, that the mercury levels in Antarctic snows are very much lower than determined in other studies.
