Abstract

The problem of pollution in the Arctic has been discussed for more than a decade, and it has become obvious that the economic activity of countries around the world leads to man-made pollution of the Arctic ecosystems. The Arctic nature is extremely vulnerable to contamination, which may lead to irreversible worldwide ecological processes in the future. The problem of environmental assessment in the Arctic and protecting this region from pollution and other negative impacts has become a priority for all neighboring countries of the Arctic. To assess the degree of environmental accumulated damage, studies have been conducted for the investigation of pollutants distribution in the Arctic region of Russia.
