Concentrations and Water Mass Transport of Legacy POPs in the Arctic Ocean

Concentrations and Water Mass Transport of Legacy POPs in the Arctic Ocean

Abstract The Arctic Ocean is known to be contaminated by various persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The Fram Strait, the only deepwater passage to the Arctic Ocean (from the Atlantic Ocean), represents an unquantified gateway for POPs fluxes into and out of the Arctic.
