Find Discount Hotel - Arctic Pollution Blamed on Seabirds

The Arctic environment is considered to be the most pristine by biologists. Most of the contaminants like plastic and other human made pollutants are carried to the Arctic by the sea birds. They claim that sea birds pollute the Arctic environment, from the latest discovery of the scientists.

A test conducted by a group of Canadian scientists found phenyl and other organic pollutants in the samples. Every summer the fulmars migrate to the Arctic. Some birds migrate to the Arctic for breeding and in that process they may end up polluting the environment by carrying trash there.

This scenario has been explained by the scientists as "guano factor". Even the remotest area on Earth is at risk of global warming and environment pollution, so. The contaminants are released into the ocean and the birds which come to the ocean to feed their young also carry the contaminants. In other areas the concentration was very low. The contaminants were found only where the birds existed, however.

The birds looking for food are only carrying the pollutants from the sea to the land. Usually they can travel up to the Arctic sea as well. Parts of the ocean remain contaminated. Since most of the chemical residuals from industrial processes are released into the sea, the main source of pollution is still from human beings, however.

The pollution is created by humans, though the sea birds are indirectly responsible. If not for the pollution in the sea, the birds cannot find these pollutants.
