Figure 4.2 Tiered approach to early identification of chemicals of potential Arctic concern. Screening of large chemical databases and non-target analyses of environmental samples can be used as an initial step to identify a smaller number of substances with potential to be Arctic pollutants. In a subsequent step, the smaller pool of suspect chemicals of concern are then sought in environmental samples via targeted analysis, to confirm their actual presence in the Arctic. Those detected at consistent and elevated levels are then identified as candidates for further action.
