Abstract
The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) was initiated by the ministers within the Arctic Council to monitor radioactivity and other pollutants and assess their possible consequences in the Arctic. AMAP has so far produced two assessment reports, published in 1997 and 2002, respectively. In the future, there is not seen a need for such frequent updates of the assessments and there are ongoing discussion for the future use of the unique knowledge base that has been build up during the AMAP work.
