The meeting reviewed available regional and global emission inventories and information on sources of contamination of the Arctic environment. During this meeting new detailed studies of HM and POP emissions were discussed, for instance, global emission mercury species in 1995 and global historical emission inventory for selected PCB congeners. MSC-E informed AMAP community about a progress of EMEP in modelling of HMs and POPs on regional and hemispheric scales. This section presents the information on computed Pb, Cd, Hg deposition and concentratios for 1999, trends in deposition and concentratios for 1990-1998, and the comparison of measured and computed concentrations of HM for 1999. Fs, HCB for the period 1970-1998 are presented.
