Chemical contamination and associated fish diseases in San Diego Bay
Article Abstract:
Chemical contamination of the waters in San Diego Bay have been determined to cause toxicopathic diseases in the fish who live there. Pollution levels were monitored from 1984 to 1988 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Sediment and fish tissue samples from the bay contained higher levels of polychlorinated biphenyls, metals and aromatic hydrocarbons than samples from surrounding areas. Fin erosion and liver neoplasms in fish in the bay were also higher.

Sensitivity of acid production/deposition to emission reductions
Article Abstract:
The sensitivity of sulfate and nitrate deposition in rain to SOx and NOx emission levels were measured using a STEM-II acid deposition model. The model estimated what changes would occur in acid production and deposition during a spring storm over the eastern United States if emission levels were varied. The test showed that the levels of SOx and NOx in the rain were sensitive to the levels of those elements in the emissions.

Cooperative research: a blueprint for industry and government
Article Abstract:
Industry and government need to join together to solve environmental problems. Cooperative research would help prevent duplicate research and provide ongoing research data to other projects. The quicker access to research data would help identify areas of research that have been neglected. Government and industry working together on environmental research projects would also cut costs associated with research.
