	Mercury : Mercury scare in the Arctic
	Posted by Sylvia on Tuesday, February 03, 2004 (00:45:16) The Norway Post 01/02/2004 An increasing amount of mercury is brought to the Arctic through pollution from all over the world. The poisonous heavy metal is easily taken up into the food chain. Scientists are now sounding the alarm, Aftenposten writes. Health tests among the indigenous peoples of the northern areas (such as Greenland and Canada) already show damage caused by mercury. Children in groups which consume large amounts of seal and whale have high blood pressure and difficulty achieving motor skills. The reason why the mercury collects in the Arctic has up to now been a mystery. However, after three years of monitoring at Ny- Aalesund on Spitzbergen, scientists at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) now believe they have the answer. The mercury follows the air currents towards the north from practically all over the world, among other places from Asia, where this hevy metal comes from coal fired power stations. The NILU report on mercury will be published next week, the newspaper writes. The Arcitc Council has for many years followed the development of environmental poisons and heavy metals in the Arctic. Secretary General Lars Otto Reiersen of the Arctic Monitoring Asessment Programme (AMAP), says the amount of mercury in the Northern regions is increasing and that this is disquieting. The Norwegian Polar Insstitute will now analyse the contents of mercury in reindeer and partridge on Svalbard.
