Pollution Problems of the Great Lakes Region. Report of Great Lakes Region Conference on Marine Pollution Problems, Traverse City, MI, June 9-11, 1980

摘要

The objective of the Great Lakes conference was to identify the most important pollution problems of the Great Lakes, which are considered 'marine' by congressional decree. Factors which went into the consideration of important problem areas were: the impact of pollutants on human health, the impact of pollutants on overall ecosystem health, the longevity or reversibility of the consequences of the pollutant, the areal extent of the pollutant, and the future magnitude of the problem. Panel sessions dealt with: food and fiber production water uses; industrial water uses; municipal water uses; recreation and wildlife water uses; social, economic and institutional water uses; and transportation water uses.
