A series about the worsening pollution
in American waters
and regulators'
response
http://projects.nytimes.com/toxic-waters
The inventory of pollutants
at the bottom of the Passaic River,
which meanders for 90 miles
through northern New Jersey,
is long and truly frightening.
More than a century
of industrial activity
has deposited PCBs, pesticides
and other contaminants
into sediment that, in some places,
is 15 feet deep.
Among the worst of the poisons
is dioxin,
generated in part
by a plant in Newark
that produced Agent Orange
and other deadly pesticides
during the 1960s.

The Pacific's plastic shame
UK
3 November 2009
A vast plastic terra incognita,
composed of the detritus of our civilisation,
has formed an area the size of Texas
in the Pacific Ocean.
And feeding on this submerged stratum
of bottle caps and beer-can loops
is one of the most beautiful birds in creation
