Pollutant levels in lake sediments are generally low in the Arctic. They are classified as insignificantly to moderately polluted. Sediment cores from Ellasj\u00f8en, a lake on Bj\u00f8rn\u00f8ya, show an increase in PCBs and DDT from the 1930s to the 1970s, followed by a reduction. The brominated flame retardants, PBDEs and HBCDs, show an increase from 1940 to 2000. No reduction is seen for these, but recent data are lacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
