They also bioaccumulate in the fatty tissues of marine and terrestrial mammals and, in high concentrations, pose health risks for humans. Unlike pollutants like Black Carbon, POPs are...<\/div><p class=\"ccpages_more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/gov-2577-spring-2021-regional-environmental-challenges\/arctic-issues-and-policy-ideas\/nora-jackson\/\"  title=\"Read more ...\">Read more ...<\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"ccchildpage  cclast cceven ccpage-count-2 ccpage-id-145 ccpage-nana-hayami ccpage-has-parent ccpage-pid-138 ccpage-parent-arctic-issues-and-policy-ideas\"><h3 class=\"ccpage_title\" title=\"Microplastics in the Arctic\">Microplastics in the Arctic<\/h3><div class=\"ccpages_excerpt\">Microplastics in the Arctic What are Microplastics? Microplastics are plastic particles that are smaller than five millimeters and it is one of the most serious pollutants in the Arctic along with other pollutants that are mentioned on this website (Black carbon, Mercury, and POPs). One of the biggest challenges about Microplastics is that they do...<\/div><p class=\"ccpages_more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/gov-2577-spring-2021-regional-environmental-challenges\/arctic-issues-and-policy-ideas\/nana-hayami\/\"  title=\"Read more ...\">Read more ...<\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"ccchildpage  ccfirst ccodd ccpage-count-3 ccpage-id-149 ccpage-seamus-frey ccpage-has-parent ccpage-pid-138 ccpage-parent-arctic-issues-and-policy-ideas\"><h3 class=\"ccpage_title\" title=\"Mercury in the Canadian Arctic: Sources and Solutions\">Mercury in the Canadian Arctic: Sources and Solutions<\/h3><div class=\"ccpages_excerpt\">Sea Ice in Nunavut, Canada (Fiona Paton, 2018, https:\/\/www.canadiangeographic.ca\/article\/how-i-wrote-symphony-about-changing-canadian-arctic).
