AB  - Systematic monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the Arctic has 
      been conducted for several years, in combination with assessments of POP levels 
      in the Arctic, POP exposure and biological effects. Meanwhile, environmental 
      research continues to detect new contaminants some of which could be potential 
      new Arctic pollutants. This study summarizes the empirical evidence that is 
      currently available of those compounds in the Arctic that are not commonly 
      included in chemical monitoring programmes. The study has focused on novel flame 
      retardants, e.g. alternatives to the banned polybrominated diphenyl ethers 
      (PBDEs), current-use pesticides and various other compounds, i.e. synthetic musk 
      compounds, siloxanes, phthalic acid esters and halogenated compounds like 
      hexachlorobutadiene, octachlorostyrene, pentachlorobenzene and polychlorinated 
      naphthalenes. For a number of novel brominated flame retardants, e.g. 
      2,3-bibromopropyl-2,4,6-tribromophenyl ether (DPTE), 
      bis(2-ethylhexyl)tetrabromophthalate (TBPH), 
      2-ethylhexyl-2,3,4,5-tetrabromobenzoate (TBB), 
      1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)-ethane (BTBPE), decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE), 
      pentabromoethylbenzene (PBEB) and hexabromobenzene (HBBz), transport to the 
      Arctic has been documented, but evidence of bioaccumulation is sparse and 
      ambiguous. For short-chain chlorinated paraffins and dechlorane plus, however, 
      increasing evidence shows both long-range transport and bioaccumulation. Ice 
      cores have documented increasing concentrations of some current-use pesticides, 
      e.g. chlorpyrifos, endosulfan and trifluralin, and bioaccumulation has been 
      observed for pentachloroanisole, chorpyrifos, endosulfan and metoxychlor, 
      however, the question of biomagnification remains unanswered.
