Climate-related changes in contaminant sources, pathways, and environmental fate are further acted upon by effects of abundance, habitat range, seasonality, prey accessibility, and physiology of individual wildlife species in Arctic ecological communities. The highly connected nature of Arctic food webs and various potential influences of climate change makes it difficult to estimate the overall impacts on contaminant exposure on Arctic species.
