Antarctica is pristine in many ways. There is no electromagnetic noise as in cities, it has no traces of mercury or krypton, it is quite aseismic in ways, etc., etc. Therefore as the winds of global circulation bring elements strange to Antarctica, even from the northern hemisphere – one can detect very tiny amounts of poisonous elements like mercury in the atmosphere chemistry laboratory. Thus it is possible to extrapolate about global amounts productions and regulate such problems. The ozone is the most famous one. The chemistry laboratory stays at about 2 Km away from the base, given that it is sensitive even to the diesel particles produced by snowmobiles.

Guess I never realized just how pristine the area was in the past. I'm sure global warming trends have helped to add new elements to the atmosphere there.
