Semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) are widely distributed across the globe, including polar regions. This study investigates the distribution and bioconcentration of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soils and Colobanthus quitensis, while also estimating potential emission sources. Results indicated high concentrations of PAHs in soils and plants from the Sub-Antarctic region, while OCPs and PCBs were more prevalent in the Antarctic region, with higher contaminant concentrations found in soils than in plant tissues. Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p,p′-DDE) were significantly higher in the Antarctic region, suggesting historical dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) use, while PCB 153 and 180 were the most representative PCBs in the Antarctic region. Phenanthrene (Phe) was the dominant PAH in both regions. The bioconcentration factor analysis from soils (BCFSoils) revealed potential anthropogenic influences for certain contaminants, including γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH) and PCB 9 in the Sub-Antarctic region, and HCB, p,p′-DDE, PCB 9, and benzo-naphtho-thiophene in the Antarctic region. However, compounds with higher hydrophobicity showed lower Bioconcentration factor (BCFSoils) values, indicating a tendency to accumulate in soil rather than plant tissues. This was consistent with the inverse relationship found between BCFSoils and the octanol-water partition coefficient (Log KOW). Diagnostic ratios of PAHs revealed a predominantly pyrogenic source in the Sub-Antarctic region, while a mixture of sources was observed in the Antarctic region.
