NORWAY: September 11, 2007


Zeppelin Mountain, with an air pollution monitoring centre on a 474 metre (1,555 ft) high ridge to the left of the summit, is seen behind Ny Alesund, a research centre where between 30 and 130 people live in the Norwegian Arctic.


In the apparently pure Arctic air, a research station on a Norwegian island mountain ridge finds tiny chemical traces from factories in Russia, pesticides in Israel or China's coal-fired power plants.
