Contaminants in sediments. Metadata
The level of contaminants in the Barents region marine environment (biota and sediment) has been documented during the last decades both by Russian and Norwegian scientists. Lately, new compounds has been observed and documented in frame of national and international monitoring programs. However, the documentation of contaminants trends has been fragmented and somewhat difficult to follow, and there has been limited compilation and presentation of such data.
The BarentsPortal financed in 2008 a project with goals to do a aggregation of the results from the joint Norwegian - Russian monitoring of sediments in the coastal ares of the Barents Sea mainland. Please go to the MAP Service to find the visual presentation under section Pollution.
