Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are widespread compounds that accumulating in polar regions canalise through trophic webs. Although several dozens of studies have been carried out in the last decades, the information is generally scattered across a large number of literature sources. This does not allow an efficient synthesis and constraints our understanding on how address future monitoring plans and environmental conservation strategies on the Polar Regions with respect to POPs. Thus, here, we present the outcome of a systematic map (SM) to scope, screen and chart evidences from literature dealing with POPs in Polar regions. The SMs strive to produce rigorous guidelines and have recently been proposed as useful and effective tools to summarise growing bodies of research that seek to reduce bias and increase reliability, particularly in the case of high priority and controversial topics. Our SM was based on 125 polar studies, focussing on the most studied target species among those listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List (IUCN Red List). To facilitate analysis of evidence, the studies were classified into Accumulation Monitoring (accounting for POP monitoring through sub-organismal, functional and population levels) and Food Web Monitoring approaches (accounting for contaminants monitoring through food webs). Our SM allowed us to assess and visualise, a set of both knowledge gaps and gluts and lastly a list was provided to address future research on POPs in Polar Regions.
持久性有机污染物（POPs）是广泛存在的化合物，它们在极地地区积累，并通过营养网进行传输。尽管在过去几十年里已经开展了几十项研究，但这些信息通常分散在大量的文献来源中。这使得我们无法进行有效的综合分析，并限制了我们对于如何制定未来关于极地地区持久性有机污染物的监测计划和环境保护策略的理解。因此，在此我们展示了一项系统图谱（SM）的成果，以梳理、筛选和绘制来自有关极地地区持久性有机污染物文献的证据。系统图谱致力于制定严格的指南，最近已被提议作为有用且有效的工具，用于总结越来越多旨在减少偏差并提高可靠性的研究，特别是在高优先级和有争议的主题方面。我们的系统图谱基于125项极地研究，聚焦于国际自然保护联盟红色名录（IUCN红色名录）中列出的研究最多的目标物种。为便于对证据进行分析，这些研究被分为积累监测（涵盖通过亚生物体、功能和种群水平进行的持久性有机污染物监测）和食物网监测方法（涵盖通过食物网进行的污染物监测）。我们的系统图谱使我们能够评估和可视化一系列知识空白和过剩之处，最后提供了一份清单，以指导未来关于极地地区持久性有机污染物的研究。
