The management of waste disposal practices must consider the various alternatives of discharging and decomposing wastes on land, in the atmosphere, and in the marine environment. Up until 1972 ocean dumping was used increasingly to dispose of sewage sludge, industrial wastes, and dredged material. In subsequent years regulations were developed to reduce and minimize ocean dumping. These regulations were prompted often by ignorance of the possible effects of waste disposal in the ocean rather than by knowledge that such ocean dumping was detrimen tal to the marine environment or to man. The relationship between waste disposal and the oceans can be viewed in either of two ways. One may want to assure that waste disposal procedures do not alter adversely the marine environment, or one may choose to utilize the ocean as a waste depository to reduce the burden placed on the con tinental ecosystem and on the atmosphere. From either perspective it is essential that there be an adequate base of technical inf | 出版日期 | Book 1981 | 关键词 | Coast; atmosphere; ecosystem; environment; formation; marine; ocean; plankton; research | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4684-3905-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4684-3907-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4684-3905-2 | copyright | Plenum Press, New York 1981 |
