Synopsis
Excerpt from International Decade of Ocean Exploration, Vol. 8: Progress Report, April 1978 to October 1979
Processes that transport pollutants from land sources to the oceans and accumulate pollutants in discrete parts of the marine environment were investigated. Objectives of the studies were to: (1) identify important pathways and mechanisms, (2) evaluate major environmental factors that influence transfer processes, and (3) develop principles governing the transfer of pollutants. Attention was focused on several major ocean interfaces: air-sea, sediment-sea, river-sea, and particulate-sea.
