|
| Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have been measured in tissues of marine mammals since the mid 1960s (Holden and Marsden, 1967; Wolman and Wilson, 1970). These compounds include several pesticides (e.g., DDTs, chlordanes) and industrial chemicals (e.g., PCBs) that are ubiquitous, highly lipophilic and not readily degraded or metabolized. As a result, they can biomagnify to high levels in lipid- rich tissues of top-level marine predators. POPs enter marine waters via ... |

 | At the turn of the nineteenth century the collection and removal of most urban household waste materials was accomplished via local refuse disposal wagons. These refuse vehicles, sometimes referred to as "honey wagons" (I was not able to ascertain exactly why they were called honey wagons although it probably had something to do with the refuse carts' similar attraction of flies), would pick-up both a residence's solid and liquid waste, ... |

| There is increasing global disquiet about the concentration of chlorine compounds found in the natural environment. When chlorine is mixed with ship sewage up to 10% of applied chlorine can be converted to organohalides. Chlorine and residual oxidants are readily dissipated and their environmental effects are of lesser significance than the potential toxicity of the organohalides. Organohalides readily bioaccumulate and are persistent in the environment. Their presence has been associated ... |
