Abstract

The health of the world’s peoples is closely linked to the health of its water - the oceans, seas, lakes and rivers. Many of the persistent toxic pollutants that are now found in the world’s oceans and waterways are also found in the bodies of virtually all peoples and other living creatures of the world. These pollutants have contaminated humans, fisheries and wildlife either directly or indirectly from polluted water.
