人类影响的遗产和影响范围最明显的证据是它对地球上最偏远和最难以到达的栖息地的影响。在这里，我们在两个最深的海沟(>；10,000米)的地方性端脚类动物群中发现了超常水平的持久性有机污染物。污染物水平远高于附近重工业化地区的记录，这表明人为污染的生物积累，并推断这些污染物普遍存在于世界海洋和整个海洋深度。
The legacy and reach of anthropogenic influence is most clearly evidenced by its impact on the most remote and inaccessible habitats on Earth. Here we identify extraordinary levels of persistent organic pollutants in the endemic amphipod fauna from two of the deepest ocean trenches (>10,000 metres). Contaminant levels were considerably higher than documented for nearby regions of heavy industrialization, indicating bioaccumulation of anthropogenic contamination and inferring that these pollutants are pervasive across the world's oceans and to full ocean depth.
