Abstract Since the last Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) effort to
review biological effects of the exposure to organohalogen compounds (OHCs) in Arctic …

Global climate change has led to profound alterations of the Arctic environment and
ecosystems, with potential secondary effects on mercury (Hg) within Arctic biota. This review …

The polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is among the Arctic species exposed to the highest
concentrations of long-range transported bioaccumulative contaminants, such as …

Recent advances in environmental analytical chemistry have identified the presence of a
large number of chemicals of emerging Arctic concern (CEACs) being transported long …

Temporal trends of mercury in Arctic wildlife are inconsistent within and between species
and are often insignificant, which limits data interpretation. Recent multivariate analyses …

Omics” is a powerful screening method with applications in molecular biology, toxicology,
wildlife biology, natural product discovery, and many other fields. Genomics, proteomics …

Metabolomics measures low molecular weight endogenous metabolites and changes linked
to contaminant exposure in biota. Few studies have explored the relationship between …

There are very few metabolomics assessments based on field accumulated, uncontrolled
contaminant exposures in wildlife, particularly in the Arctic. In the present study, targeted …

Abstract Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and inorganic elements like mercury (Hg) are
ubiquitous environmental pollutants. Their physico-chemical properties allow them to be …
