Funding text 1 We would like to acknowledge all site and laboratory operators and students at all AMAP stations. Wong is grateful to Desmond Ng and Jared Chisamore of Environment and Climate Change Canada for help in data analysis. Financial support for the monitoring programmes was provided by the Northern Contaminants Program, Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (Alert); Swedish-EPA (Naturv?rdsverket) and the Finnish Meteorological Institute (Pallas); the Icelandic Ministry for the Environment (St?rh?f?i); the Norwegian Environment Agency (Zeppelin and And?ya); and the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (Villum Research Station). RPA ?Typhoon?, Roshydromet provided support for air monitoring at sites in Russia (Amderma and Tiksi). The Government of Canada's Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) provided partial funding for the analysis of emerging contaminants at Alert.
