TEXT ON SCREEN: RMIT scientists are looking at how they cope in contaminated soil

VISUAL: Two researchers waving at camera, panning away to shot of Antarctic landscape

TEXT ON SCREEN: They’re the first in the world to study the effect of soil contamination on moss piglets

VISUAL: Gloved hand holds some moss while the other hand moves it around with tweezers

TEXT ON SCREEN: It’s part of research to develop the first guidelines for healthy, clean soils in Antarctica
