Proceedings of a Workshop on Assimilative Capacity of U.S. Coastal Waters for Pollutants, Held at Crystal Mountain, Washington, on July 29-August 4, 1979

摘要

This report of the workshop held at Crystal Mountain, Washington, in July 1979 has been designated Working Paper No. 1 for preparation of the second Federal Plan for Ocean Pollution Research Development and Monitoring for 1981-1985, which is due early in 1981. The theme of the Crystal Mountain workshop implies that coastal waters can assimilate certain amounts of various pollutants without being undesirably degraded. The task of the workshop was to determine amounts and kinds of pollutants that could be assimilated by these nearby waters without unacceptable effects.
