- •
Integrated environmental risks have been poorly assessed in Antarctica soils.
- •
Anthropogenic trace element contamination was confirmed in soil samples from Fildes.
- •
Adverse ecotoxicological effects were promoted by aqueous extracts of all tested soils.
- •
Integrated risks were found high or uncertain, denoting contaminated sites of concern.
- •
None of the soils can sustain natural functions, demanding better protective measures.
