It has been recently found that sea birds play a major role in polluting Arctic environment. This is done as the sea birds carry contaminants such as plastic to the Arctic, thus contribution to pollution in the area. The Canadian scientists conducted a recent test in which organic pollutants like phenyl was found in the samples and the major thing to note is the contaminants were only found where the sea birds existed.

The contaminants get released into the ocean and birds which come to it for feeding their young ones also carry contaminants. So, even the farthest area on the earth is not safe from dangers like environment pollution and global warming. The human activities still remain the major source of pollution since the chemical residuals from the industrial processes get released into the sea. The birds searching for food only carry these pollutants present in the sea to the Arctic land.
