We will look into the second leg of the water issue, namely the problems, sources, and pollutants associated with the pollution and contamination of the aquatic environment. Before moving on, it would be useful to examine the current situation in various regions of the world as concerns fresh water pollution (Kraemer el al., 2001). 

Absorption due to hydroxide bonds, most noticeable near 1383 nm (also known as the spectral water-peak region), has historically been the major source of absorption related losses, though recent advances in fiber manufacturing processes have all but eliminated such as an issue. Still, millions of kilometers of early generation single-mode fibers in use today may be measurably impacted by absorption losses associated... 

Bentazone has been monitored in the NRA Anglian Region since 1993 and the results show that bentazone is regularly present in surface and groundwaters. Currently there are no restrictions on its use, but bentazone is due to be reviewed under the Authorizations Directive, the new European legislation for pesticide approvals, and the issue of water pollution will be raised.
