Abstract
In the last ten years, the scientific community has recognized that substantial amounts of the air pollutants that cause regional scale problems of acid rain, oxidants, and toxic deposition of heavy metals and organic compounds travel beyond regional boundaries to pollute the atmosphere on an hemispheric scale. Arctic haze is a prime example of this; it is the remnant of industrial emissions, mostly from the Eurasian continent. From a meteorological point of view, Eurasia is favored over North America as a source of Arctic pollution.
