A second reason why marine pollution is difficult to measme lies in the large number of pollutants being introduced and the myriad of pathways by which they enter the oceans. In 2006, 82,000 different chemicals were in commercial use, with approximately 1000 new ones being added annually. Most have the potential to reach the ocean. In some cases, groups of these compoimds can be measured in one analysis, such as the PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). Nevertheless, a large number of analyses are required to measme all the pollutants that can potentially be present in seawater.

Comparison of measured levels and sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) for total polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediments from the various sites, in South Korea (a) freshwater (n = 64), (b) brackish (n = 15), and (c) marine sediments (n = 362). Range indicates minimum (min), maximum (max), and arithmetic mean (avg.). Dotted lines represent SQGs of effect range low (ERL) and effect range median (ERM) for total PCBs (Long et al., 1995).
