Abstract
Sources of pollution were identified and their relative importance assessed. Observations were made on seasonal variations and differences were noted between the dispersion patterns of several metals of interest. The geographical extent of chemical and biological pollution was examined. Some understanding of the basic mechanisms involved in continuing pollution was obtained and an attempt was made to determine the fate of heavy metals.
