Aims
The principal aim of the bibliographic database is to offer
(1) an overview of the existing knowledge about pollution,
environmental disturbances and their effects, and
(2) a documentation of the natural geochemical
variations in the Kola Peninsula area, by a collecting as many
relevant publications as possible
In addition to all the publicly available scientific literature
in English, the database contains English translations
of titles and abstracts of selected publications in Russian, Finnish,
German and Norwegian
The database is intended to assist scientists and policy-makers
to better understand and interpret environmental challenges in
parts of the Barents region
Limitations
The selected references in the database have the following limitations:
Geographic area: the land area of the central Barents region
(see map) extending
from Finnmark (northeastern Norway) in the west to the western

southward to the Arctic Circle in Lapland (northern Finland)
Subjects: published as well as unpublished references on studies
of pollution, heavy metals, trace elements, radioactivity, and
