Are the great lakes being polluted?
The pollution problems in the Great Lakes have traditionally been linked to discharges of phosphates, mercury, chlorinated organics, organic materials like phenols and dissolved solids. The phosphates were removed by the reformulation of detergents, the mercury by th elimination of this compound at chloralkali plants, the chlorinated organics by product reformation and tighter controls at manufacturing plants, organic materials by improved treatment and the dissolved solids by improved treatment and use controls. Oil spills although an ongoing issue are generally a surface phenomenon which care controllable.
Some organic problems due to invasive species such as sea lampreys and zebra mussels are being tackled by biocides.
In genral the water quality is greatly improved since the mid-1969s.
