Analytical studies on the environmental state of the Svalbard archipelago - critical source of information about anthropogenic global impact
Abstrakt
The Svalbard archipelago differs from other polar regions due to its specific environmental conditions and geographic location which make the area gather pollution from long-range transport. Due to the recent development in analytical techniques it is possible to determine the concentration of pollutants at the level present there. This paper collates and discusses the information from the literature about: pollutants present in various components of the ecosystem, the number and kind of research centers conducting analytical studies, and remediation programs and projects realized in the area of the Svalbard archipelago. Monitoring the state of the environment of the Arctic region is extremely important because of the unique opportunity to observe the direct influence of pollutants on processes in the studied area. Active participation of many countries in research, international actions aimed at protecting the polar region, and highlighting the scale of the problem have helped decrease the concentration of some toxic compounds in the Arctic environment. The data obtained in that way do not only constitute a source of information about the changes in the polar environment but also enable an evaluation of the influence of particular pollutants on the global ecosystem.
