| Abstract | The report discusses the fact that the oceans are the ultimate accumulation site for the persistent chlorinated hydrocarbons. The report presents material to support its recommendations: A massive effort should be made immediately to check the escape of persistent toxicants into the environment; Rates of entry of each pollutant into the marine environment be determined; and The laws relating to the registration of chemical substances and the release of production figures by the government be examined. |
