Abstract
The introduction of man-made radionuclides, heavy metals and oil hydrocarbons into the Arctic basin has been, of international concern since the 1992 release of information on Soviet dumping of nuclear reactor and solid industrial waste. The purpose of this chapter is to develop and to investigate a simulation model of the pollution dynamics in the Arctic basin. There are many observational and theoretical results giving estimates of the growing dependencies between the pollution dynamics in the World Ocean and the state of the continental environment.
