Abstract
The present report is part of the national contribution to the international Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP), under the umbrella of the Arctic Council. The report summarises the results of the core programme monitoring of heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments of the Faroe Islands. The monitoring is done according to guidelines adopted by AMAP, with adaptations that reflect the special Faroese pollution exposure issues and the experience gained from earlier work.
