AB  - The effect of climate change on the global distribution and fate of persistent 
      organic pollutants (POPs) is of growing interest to both scientists and policy 
      makers alike. The impact of warmer temperatures and the resulting changes to 
      earth system processes on chemical fate are, however, unclear, although there are 
      a growing number of studies that are beginning to examine these impacts and 
      changes in a quantitative way. In this review, we examine broad areas where 
      changes are occurring or are likely to occur with regard to the environmental 
      cycling and fate of chemical contaminants. For this purpose we are examining 
      scientific information from long-term monitoring data with particular emphasis on 
      the Arctic, to show apparent changes in chemical patterns and behaviour. In 
      addition, we examine evidence of changing chemical processes for a number of 
      environmental compartments and indirect effects of climate change on contaminant 
      emissions and behaviour. We also recommend areas of research to address knowledge 
      gaps. In general, our findings indicate that the indirect consequences of climate 
      change (i.e. shifts in agriculture, resource exploitation opportunities, etc.) 
      will have a more marked impact on contaminants distribution and fate than direct 
      climate change.
