A freshwater stream may look sparkling and clean, but it s probably not safe for drinking. Many rivers and lakes in the United States are polluted. Bacteria and viruses enter water supplies through contamination by sewage and industrial wastes. Wastes from landfills and mines leak into groundwater reservoirs. Pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers are picked up by rainwater and carried into streams. Streams flow into rivers, and rivers empty into oceans. In addition, coastal cities pump waste directly into the oceans. For this reason, much of the oceans pollution is found along the coasts of continents. [Pg.853]

The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (1973) as modified by the 1978 Protocol (MARPOL) focuses on preventing ship-generated ocean pollution. Annexes I-V of the MARPOL protocol address oil, noxious liquids, and other petroleum-related contaminants (MARPOL 1978). [Pg.74]

Ocean pollution can also be caused from agricultural, municipal, and industrial runoff. The pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides used on commercial, agricultural, and residential properties can flow from the ground and into storm sewers during the rainy season. The amount of pesticides, insecticides, and herbicides can be significant and cause significant environmental harm. These pollutants can be a source of POPs. [Pg.30]
