Water Pollution (Florida)

Introduction

Pollution of water may be in different forms: chemical, bacteriological and also, thermal pollution, and water or water bodies may be soft, brackish or salt, ground or surface. It may even be the rain or dew, snow or polar ice. It can also involve interfaces, including estuaries, wetlands and in particular their Sediments that can absorb and release certain pollutants. Sediments can be highly polluted and retain traces of old pollution (there are sometimes many lead shot and fishing where these activities are performed). The fight against this pollution is more difficult than is at the bottom of water, or diluted in water is often invisible, and some toxic infiltrated into the soil often produce their effect after a long time and that many pollutants act in synergy complex.

In fact, over half the world's rivers are polluted and over one and a half billion people lack accesses to safe drinking water. One hundred twenty million people are constantly sick from the water. Five million people die every year, every day, and six thousand children. Polluted water is a serious threat to human health (Hutton, 2004, pp. 3-24).

Discussion

In Florida, the framework for the field of water is working hard to reduce the water pollution. It reminds and reinforces the Community guidelines for the condition of aquatic ecosystems. However, there are various articles that seek to strengthen the protection of the aquatic environment through specific measures designed to progressively reduce discharges, emissions and losses of priority substances and the cessation or phasing out emissions, discharges and losses of priority hazardous substances. Water States must decline this directive into national law (Dash, 2004, pp. 34-68).
