Mercurial News From The Arctic
In an international conference held in Chiba, Japan on 24-28 January, the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) released a four-page handout summarizing recent findings on mercury pollution in the Arctic.
In many species, mercury concentrations have risen “above thresholds for biological effects” on the environment.  Together with biomagnification, the tendency of toxins to become concentrated amongst animals at the top of the food chain,new mercurial vapor, these developments have raised particular health issues for Arctic indigenous peoples subsisting on marine mammals,offres mercurial vapo, seabirds and their eggs, and marine and freshwater fish.
Though mercury emissions in North America have long peaked, concentrations continue to increase in many Arctic species – especially marine species and predatory freshwater fish - because of cumulative buildup and the decades-long timeline of mercury transport by water currents.
Checking these trends will require greater oversight of coal burning, the most significant source of mercury pollution in the Arctic, and overall reduction of mercury entering “environmental reserves.”
The full AMAP assessment will be presented at the Arctic Council Ministerial Meeting to be held on 12 May 2011 in Nuuk, Greenland.
