This chapter on human health describes the levels of contaminants
in humans and their effects on human health. It has not been written as an overview of the general health of the peoples of the Arctic. Rather, this chapter is an evaluation of the current knowledge of the consequences to Arctic peoples of environmental exposure to priority contaminants as defined in the AMAP mandate. Indirect health implications of climate change, oil pollution, and waste sites are treated in other chapters of this report.
