AB  - Concentrations of such persistent organic pollutants (POPs) as polychlorinated 
      biphenyls (PCBs) are high in certain Arctic animal species. The polar bear, 
      Arctic fox, and glaucous gull may be exposed to PCB levels above 
      lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level (LOAEL) values for adverse effects on 
      reproduction in mammals and birds. However, the dioxin-like congeners seem to be 
      major contributors to the reproductive effects of PCBs and the relative 
      concentrations of these congeners are low in polar bears. Temporal trends for 
      POPs in Arctic wildlife and the sensitivities of Arctic species to these 
      compounds determine the risk for future adverse health effects.
