Pollution in the Bay

Here is a quick post about pollutants in the Bay of Fundy. This website says that it is because of the 'flushing' effect of the Bay of Fundy combined with the low population densities found around the Bay that contribute to it being relatively clean. The take home point is the word relative. It is not to say the Bay is pristine but it is relatively clean. Relatively clean means that the Bay has 2-5ppm of PCB's conmpared to 9-10PPm of PCB's found in the St. Lawrence estuary. I still think that 2-5ppm is alot but I'm no expert on the subject. I just think this is enough for me to stay away from sea food as a whole but to each their own. Pollution to me is more than about impacts to humans and animals of this generation. It is a legacy that we leave to those that come after us and if nothing else we should think of what sort of message we are sending out to those future generations.
