The authors provide hard evidence for a significant environmental impact of long-distance atmospheric pollution advection to the Arctic. Results from literature and of their research show that the atmospheric inflow of pollution to the Arctic has been increasing over the decades. The authors show evidence that biomass burning has a greater potential impact on radiative budget of the region than the well-known spring Arctic Haze phenomenon, which has always been regarded as the most prominent atmospheric pollution manifestation in the Arctic. Warming, which is observed in the Arctic, results in decreasing ice coverage of the region, which in turn, leads to the major changes in the ecosystem, hence affects human well-being. At the same time, the authors present results of two independent studies, dedicated to the recognition of the awareness and the level of interest of people in eight Arctic countries and among young learners in Poland. The results show that not only the level of public interest is low, but it is both decreasing or, at the best, low to societies. This is in strong contradiction to information available and the daily experience of the societies, which inhabit the region. The authors believe, that such contradiction results from a low level of knowledge and interest of the Arctic and the climate change itself. Finally, the authors provide some hints on how to link hard scientific evidence for Arctic environmental changes with proper communication to the general public, and hence to increase the level of interest among citizens.

作者为远距离大气污染平流对北极的重大环境影响提供了确凿的证据。来自文献及其研究的结果表明，几十年来，大气向北极的污染流入量一直在增加。作者的证据表明，与众所周知的春季北极霾现象相比，生物质燃烧对该地区的辐射预算有更大的潜在影响，而春季一直以来，这种现象一直被认为是北极最突出的大气污染表现。在北极观察到的变暖导致该地区的冰覆盖面积减少，进而导致生态系统发生重大变化，从而影响人类的福祉。同时，作者介绍了两项独立研究的结果，致力于承认八个北极国家和波兰年轻学习者的人们的意识和兴趣水平。结果表明，不仅公众利益水平低下，而且公共利益水平在下降，或者最好是对社会而言低。这与居住在该地区的现有信息和社会的日常经验强烈矛盾。作者认为，这种矛盾是由于对北极和气候变化本身缺乏了解和兴趣而造成的。最后，作者提供了一些提示，说明如何将北极环境变化的科学证据与适当的公众沟通联系起来，从而提高公民的兴趣水平。结果表明，不仅公众利益水平低下，而且公共利益水平在下降，或者最好是对社会而言低。这与居住在该地区的现有信息和社会的日常经验强烈矛盾。作者认为，这种矛盾是由于对北极和气候变化本身缺乏了解和兴趣而造成的。最后，作者提供了一些提示，说明如何将北极环境变化的科学证据与适当的公众沟通联系起来，从而提高公民的兴趣水平。结果表明，不仅公众利益水平低下，而且公共利益水平在下降，或者最好是对社会而言低。这与居住在该地区的现有信息和社会的日常经验强烈矛盾。作者认为，这种矛盾是由于对北极和气候变化本身缺乏了解和兴趣而造成的。最后，作者提供了一些提示，说明如何将北极环境变化的科学证据与适当的公众沟通联系起来，从而提高公民的兴趣水平。居住在该地区。作者认为，这种矛盾是由于对北极和气候变化本身缺乏了解和兴趣而造成的。最后，作者提供了一些提示，说明如何将北极环境变化的科学证据与适当的公众沟通联系起来，从而提高公民的兴趣水平。居住在该地区。作者认为，这种矛盾是由于对北极和气候变化本身缺乏了解和兴趣而造成的。最后，作者提供了一些提示，说明如何将北极环境变化的科学证据与适当的公众沟通联系起来，从而提高公民的兴趣水平。
