Mechanisms in pollution For the physiologist “ the poison becomes an instrument which dissociates and analyses the most delicate phenomena of living structures, and by attending carefully to their mechanism in causing death, he can learn indirectly much about the physiological processes of life” ……such studies of the effects produced by toxic substance demand a multi-disciplinary approach. (------ Claude Bernard ) Ecologists would probably like to refine the definition of toxic mechanisms not as those “causing death” but as those diminishing the success of the organism in its environment. This is not always the same thing for humans and for marine creatures in their less prestigious existences. Indeed this concept leads naturally to the usually accepted definition of “pollution”evolved by the SCOR Working Group of the United Nations. concept of marine pollution The introduction by man, directly or indirectly, of substances or energy into the marine environment (including estuaries) resulting in such deleterious effects as harm to living resources, hazards to human health, hindrance to marine activeties including fishing, impairment of quality for use of sea water and reduction of amenities. —— evolved by the SCOR Working Group of the United Nations (1969). It will become clear that the agencies giving rise to pollution are extremely diverse and can be found everywhere. Three bro
