Sources of Pollutants
• Point Source– Specific location of concentrated
pollutants• Factory Waste, Sewage
• Nonpoint Source– Scattered or diffuse sources of
pollutants • Golf courses, Air-borne, Agriculture

Major Types of Ocean Pollution
• Oil Pollution

Oil Pollution Sources
• Runoff: 363 million gallons/year
• Maintenance: 137 million gallons/year
• Air Pollution: 92 million gallons/year
• Natural Seeps: 62 million gallons/year
• Big Spills: 37 million gallons/year

Effects of Oil Pollution
• Kills marine animals– Destroys insulation– Death through ingestion
• Damages ecosystems– Destroys coastal flora and fauna– Devastates local economies

Toxic Materials
• Heavy Metals – Lead, Mercury, Cadmium– Dioxin, PCBs, PAHs
• Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)– Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)– Dioxin– Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)
![Page 9: Sources of Pollutants Point Source –Specific location of concentrated pollutants Factory Waste, Sewage Nonpoint Source –Scattered or diffuse sources of.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6a5503460f94a48d8e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Toxic Materials• Sources
– Factory Waste– Agriculture– Air Pollution
• Effects– Destroy immune function
• Leads to cancer and other diseases
– Biomagnification and Bioaccumulation• Top predators, such as orcas and tuna can have extremely high
levels of toxics

Sewage and Eutrophication
• Sources– Cities dump sewage, treated or untreated into
ocean– Large vessels, such as cruise ships
• Can dump in pristine areas such as Southeast Alaska
![Page 12: Sources of Pollutants Point Source –Specific location of concentrated pollutants Factory Waste, Sewage Nonpoint Source –Scattered or diffuse sources of.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6a5503460f94a48d8e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Effects– Eutrophication: nutrients in sewage cause algae
blooms• Decomposition of dying bloom uses up oxygen
• Lack of oxygen kills animals such as fish
– Introduces pathogens• Pathogens in human waste enter food web
• Can infect people who eat the seafood
Sewage and Eutrophication

Garbage
![Page 14: Sources of Pollutants Point Source –Specific location of concentrated pollutants Factory Waste, Sewage Nonpoint Source –Scattered or diffuse sources of.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6a5503460f94a48d8e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Garbage
• Sources– Unregulated dumping
• Ships
• Coastal Communities
– 14 Billion pounds of garbage are dumped in the ocean each year
![Page 15: Sources of Pollutants Point Source –Specific location of concentrated pollutants Factory Waste, Sewage Nonpoint Source –Scattered or diffuse sources of.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6a5503460f94a48d8e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Effects– Marine animals
• Become ensnared and die
• Ingest garbage and die
– Fouls ship motors and marine machinery
Garbage

Radioactive Waste
![Page 17: Sources of Pollutants Point Source –Specific location of concentrated pollutants Factory Waste, Sewage Nonpoint Source –Scattered or diffuse sources of.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6a5503460f94a48d8e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Radioactive Waste
• Sources– Dumping at sea is banned
• Discharge from coastal facilities
• Effects– At sea: not well known– On land: causes birth defects and cancer such as
leukemia
