摘要: The effects of sewage sludge disposal on three contrasting areas round the British coastline are compared. In two, relatively shallow (20–30 m), where dumped material is widely dispersed, there some evidence localised accumulation occurring patchily, but extensively, in surrounding sediments. one these summer plankton blooms cause eutrophic effects. third, deeper, accumulating, area (70 confined to a 100 km−2 around ground and planktonic eutrophication has not disturbed system. from used suggest that non-dispersive overlaid by deep, well mixed water column might be preferred policy option.
