Question

consequences of industrial wastes dumped in water

Answer 1

Discharges are the main source of coastal pollution. In most of the developing countries and in many developed places, the discharges of the cities are usually done directly to the sea, without previous purification treatments. In addition, areas where water renewal is slower (marshes, estuaries, bays, harbors) are the most abused. They are frequently found fish with tumors and serious diseases, or mollusks and crustaceans whose fishing and consumption are prohibited, because they contain high doses of toxic products.

 
The residues that come from the petroleum derivatives are forming a film. Some toxic substances that poison the plankton, fish and various aquatic organisms. This kind of substance destroys animals and plants, and breaks the natural balance. These contaminants are deposited in the human body, and in some cases do not cause death, but diseases, malformations, poor development, etc.
