      Progress, Gaps and Perspectives.

AB  - This article presents a comprehensive survey of the studies on the biomonitoring 
      of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and metals in biota and human tissues on 
      the territory of the Russian Arctic. It is concluded that a relatively small 
      number of studies were carried out during the last 40 years; for several Russian 
      Arctic regions there is no data up to date, and for some regions the data are 
      scarce, with most of the studies carried out in 1990s, followed by the 
      large-scale GEF/AMAP/RAIPON project of 2001-2004 covering four regions. After 
      that, single projects have been implemented in a few regions. Only the Nenets 
      okrug and the Chukotka okrug (and hardly the Murmansk oblast) can be attributed 
      as the regions where the biomonitoring of contaminants was carried out during 
      last decades on several occasions, and for which the content of POPs and metals 
      in biota and the human organism was assessed in 12-15-year dynamic trends (at 
      least "at three points"). For the rest of the Russian Arctic territories, only 
      fragmentary "cross-sections" of biomonitoring data is available, mainly obtained 
      in the 1990s or early 2000s, which do not allow judging either the dynamics of 
      the processes or the current state of affairs. The overwhelming majority of the 
      studies in the Russian Arctic (more than 90%) were carried out within the 
      framework of international projects, i.e., with cofinancing, assistance and 
      contribution (including laboratory analyses) from the foreign colleagues and 
      partners. The shortcomings of the Russian system of biomonitoring, including the 
      weakness of the laboratory and research base, are considered. Perspectives of the 
      Russian Arctic biomonitoring are discussed in detail, with the proposal of the 
      elaboration of the national Russian Arctic Contaminants Program (RACP).
