| Summary: | Arctic contaminant research is expensive and current international resources are restricted. his paper attempts to focus on the most pressing information needs. he Arctic is a unique region, where continued scientific investigation of airborne contaminants promises to reveal issues of global significance regarding airborne contaminant distribution, the physical and chemical processes involved, and their ecological effects. cological studies, especially monitoring, require a continuous ommitment over a substantial period of time. unding agencies and researchers should plan for long-term tudies which may require up to 10-15 years to demonstrate advances in our basic understanding of Arctic contaminant science.
