- W159441421 abstract "Scientists generally agree today that atmospheric deposition of invisible toxic chemicals, toxic fallout, is the worst pollution problem and the greatest long term threat to life in the Great Lakes. At current levels it is believed there is no danger to human health from direct exposure to Great Lakes waters. The link between water quality and air quality has received much attention because of the debate over acid rain. In the 1972 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement between Canada and the US, phosphorus reduction was the major objective. Attention then turned to long range transport of toxics after PCBs were found in a small lake on Isle Royale in 1975. The atmosphere is now considered the chief source of toxic pollution for the upper Great Lakes and the only source in many instances. Exact loadings of toxic substances in the Great Lakes cannot be determined. The ultimate fate of most toxic chemicals is also not known, but it is no longer believed that they necessarily remain trapped in sediments after settling out of the water column. While the size of the Great Lakes system is a protection from acidification, the huge surface area of the lakes makes them more vulnerablemore » to atmospheric deposition of toxic substances. The full economic consequences of the presence of toxic substances in the Great Lakes cannot be estimated because of a lack of certainty about the human health consequences of long term exposure at low levels. 7 references, 4 figures.« less" @default.
