Chemical pollution poses significant threats to the black-backed dolphin and polar bears, as their bodies absorb all chemicals and cannot eliminate them.
The World Wildlife Fund has conducted research in the Arctic. The results are concerning for a region often regarded as a white paradise.
The black-backed dolphin, a formidable predator easily recognized by its white spots, has become a living testament to the health of our planet.
Indeed, according to the World Wildlife Fund, the black-backed dolphin is an indicator species for global pollution, even more so than polar bears. Consequently, scientists have collected samples for analysis.
Researchers discovered pesticide residues in the blubber of black-backed dolphins found in the fjord of Norway.
The chemicals detected in the Arctic have also been used in everyday electronics such as computers, televisions, and kitchen appliances. Unfortunately, all the chemicals found in the Arctic are almost impossible to break down.
