New York Times > Toxic Waters USA

A series about the worsening pollution

in American waters

and regulators' response

http://projects.nytimes.com/toxic-waters

The inventory of pollutants

at the bottom of the Passaic River,

which meanders for 90 miles

through northern New Jersey,

is long and truly frightening.

More than a century

of industrial activity

has deposited PCBs, pesticides

and other contaminants

into sediment that, in some places,

is 15 feet deep.

Among the worst of the poisons

is dioxin,

generated in part

by a plant in Newark

that produced Agent Orange

and other deadly pesticides

during the 1960s.

The Pacific's plastic shame UK 3 November 2009

A vast plastic terra incognita,

composed of the detritus of our civilisation,

has formed an area the size of Texas

in the Pacific Ocean.

And feeding on this submerged stratum

of bottle caps and beer-can loops

is one of the most beautiful birds

in creation
