Abstract

Litter and microplastic assessments are being carried out worldwide. Arctic ecosystems are no exception and plastic pollution is high on the Arctic Council’s agenda. Water and sediment have been identified as two of the priority compartments for monitoring plastics under the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP). Recommendations for monitoring both compartments are presented in this publication. Alone, such samples can provide information on presence, fate, and potential impacts to ecosystems. Together, the quantification of microplastics in sediment and water from the same region produce a three-dimensional picture of plastics, not only a snapshot of floating or buoyant plastics in the surface water or water column but also a picture of the plastics reaching the shoreline or benthic sediments, in lakes, rivers, and the ocean. Assessment methodologies must be adapted to the ecosystems of interest to generate reliable data. In its current form, published data on plastic pollution in the Arctic is sporadic and collected using a wide spectrum of methods which limits the extent to which data can be compared. A harmonised and coordinated effort is needed to gather data on plastic pollution for the Pan-Arctic. Such information will aid in identifying priority regions and focusing mitigation efforts.
泛北极地区多基质监测的力量:水和沉积物中的塑料
世界各地都在进行垃圾和微塑料评估。北极生态系统也不例外,塑料污染是北极理事会议程上的重要内容。根据北极监测和评估计划(AMAP),水和沉积物已被确定为监测塑料的两个优先隔间。本出版物介绍了监测两个隔间的建议。仅凭这些样本就可以提供关于存在、命运和对生态系统的潜在影响的信息。通过对同一地区沉积物和水中微塑料的量化,可以生成塑料的三维图像,不仅是地表水或水柱中漂浮或漂浮塑料的快照,还可以生成到达海岸线或海底沉积物、湖泊、河流和海洋中的塑料的图像。评估方法必须适应感兴趣的生态系统,以产生可靠的数据。以目前的形式,公布的北极塑料污染数据是零星的,使用了广泛的方法收集,这限制了数据的比较范围。需要协调一致的努力来收集泛北极地区塑料污染的数据。这些信息将有助于确定优先区域并集中开展缓解工作。

期刊介绍: Arctic Science is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes original peer-reviewed research from all areas of natural science and applied science & engineering related to northern Polar Regions. The focus on basic and applied science includes the traditional knowledge and observations of the indigenous peoples of the region as well as cutting-edge developments in biological, chemical, physical and engineering science in all northern environments. Reports on interdisciplinary research are encouraged. Special issues and sections dealing with important issues in northern polar science are also considered.
