Ocean Pollution

This research examines the effects that humans have been inducing on the ocean and how the pollution produced is affecting the form of life present there. There is plenty of evidence that the oceans have deteriorated at the hands of humans, but recent investigations show that deterioration, especially at the sea coasts, has increased significantly in the last years due to increased industrial discharge. Common synthetic pollutants that reach the ocean include pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, detergents, oil, plastics, etc. These pollutants compile at the ocean's profundity and marine life present consume these toxic pollutants, killing them or severely injuring them.
Many of the ocean present pollutants are extremely harmful; …show more content…
The information provided in this article will also be used to prove how pollution is impacting and impairing marine life.
Problem:
The information provided is very general and does not provide the sufficient details on how pollution is affecting marine life. Introduction:
This article describes how toxic materials that are disposed of in the ocean can cause severe pollution and damage the ocean and present living creatures. Summary:
Most of the waste products produced by humans ended up in the ocean through sewer systems, the most common chemicals that end up in the ocean are:
Oil spills that cause large amounts of contamination, with 12% of total oil entering the seas each year. Toxic chemicals contained within, poison living creatures present in the area. Fertilizer from farms is another big issue; the overflow which ends up in the ocean produces eutrophication due to the algae present, which creates many dead …show more content…
The nuclear waste with a difference to industrial waste remains is that nuclear waste remains radioactive for decades. The peak percentage of waste dumping was between 1954 and 1962 with 1% of the total of the entire of radioactive waste that has been thrown into the ocean. There are different options for ocean waste consist of recycling, producing lower wasteful products, preserving energy and changing the toxic substances to nontoxic.
The report also concluded that dumping industrial waste anywhere in the ocean is like dumping it anywhere on land.
Enforcement of regulations was also a problem in these areas, so it was necessary to assist the countries in the implementation of a waste-disposal strategy.
The process of incineration was previously used to sustain waste that was deposited in the oceans bedding, in 1989 scientists concluded that treating chemical waste that polluted the ocean previously by burning it may have reduced pollutants present in the ocean, but another issue arose; air pollution due to the burning of toxic material caused poisonous gases to spread in the atmosphere, and toll was produced for banning the process of incinerating pollutants in the
