人类活动对地球上最偏远和最难以进入的生境的影响，最清楚地证明了人类活动影响的遗留问题和影响范围。在此，我们确定了两个最深的海沟（> 10 000米）中特有的片足动物群中持久性有机污染物的异常水平。污染物水平大大高于附近重工业化地区的记录，表明人为污染的生物积累，并推断这些污染物遍布世界各大洋，并达到整个海洋深度。
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.
