The products of human activities find their way into the environment and disturb ecosystems. Pollution has altered the surroundings to the detriment of humanity. In the last several decades, the poUutional load has increased, and its character has changed (see Water—pollution).

The UK Environment Agency deals with over 6000 oil pollution incidents each year. One estimate suggests tliat tlie cheiTtical industry contributes to 50% of all ah pollution witli proportions approximating to sulphur dioxide (36%), carbon dioxide (28%), nitrogen oxides (18%), carbon monoxide (14%) and black smoke (10%). Motor spirit refining is responsible for ca 26% of emissions of volatile organic compounds to the atmosphere. In 1996 there were over 20 000 reports of water pollution incidents with 155 successful prosecutions. 

NRA (national RIVERS AUTHORITY) The National Rivers Authority were the body responsible for the management of water resources and the control of water pollution in England and Wales. They are now part of the Environment Agency. 

Created the Environment Agency (EAJ and the SEA for Scotland. Contains detailed provisions for dealing with a range of environmental issues including air quality contaminated land reinforcing the polluter pays principle water quality, with the EA empowered to require action to prevent water pollution and to require polluters to clean up after any pollution episode.

According to J. M. Griffin and H. B. Steele (1986), external costs exist when the private calculation of costs differs from society s valuation of costs. Pollution represents an external cost because damages associated with it are borne by society as a whole, not just by the users of a particular fuel. Pollution causes external costs to the extent that the damages inflicted by the pollutant are not incorporated into the price of the fuel associated with the damages. External costs can be caused by air pollution, water pollution, toxic wastes, or any other damage to the environment not included in market prices for goods.

A number of mathematical models have been developed in recent years which attempt to predict the behavior of organic water pollutants. >2>3 Models assume that compounds will partition into various compartments in the environment such as air, water, biota, suspended solids and sediment. The input to the models includes the affinity of the compound for each of the compartments, the rate of transfer between the compartments, and the rates of various degradation processes in the various compartments. There is a growing body of data, however, which indicates that the models to date may have overlooked a small but significant interaction. A number of authors have suggested that a portion of the compounds in the aqueous phase may be bound to dissolved humic materials and are not therefore truly dissolved.
