As you know, pollution is a result of human activity that dirty and contaminated the environment.
Although the oceans are very large, they are also polluted by human activity.
And if many years ago it was thought that there was no problem with dirty water, now pollution is very visible.For example, the effects of pollution on marine species and also in humans are many and most serious are diseases.
The Man fills the sea with “contaminants” that, by the effect of the waves, are drawn into the sands of estuaries and bays. These “contaminants” are then absorbed by animals that make part of the food chain.
Although it may not see it, pollution affects us all.Even though we do not drink the sea water, we use it very personally, taking baths and eating the fish that may be contaminated aswell.Very soon, diseases will pass from sea animals to us,humans.It is clear that not only is the man who pollutes the sea, all the animals leave their "rubbish" on the environment too, the only difference is that we do it in such large quantities that nature cannot handle it.
Thus, we are ruining one of the most valuable assets that exist on our planet: water.
Pollution of reserves is the big problem for the future of the planet's supply of drinking water. The accumulation of garbage near the springs and the infiltration of fertilizers contaminate underground water sources, polluting a valuable asset that is priceless.
In the larger cities, the dumping of sewage and industrial waste at sea and in rivers is also a major threat.
When you pull the toilet of the toilet, we do not think of where the dirty water is going.
If not treated in a treatment plant can cause havoc in the ocean!
In these places (the ETAR – Portuguese name of the specialized stations which decontaminate the water) they use chemicals that separate the dirt from the water, which may well follow its course without polluting the environment.
Many industries (still) lay waste in the waters of its production, without treating it. Sometimes they are toxic waste (and smelly) that destroy the life of rivers and eventually reach the sea.
Oil spills
Another major problem, perhaps resulting in a more visible impact, is the oil spill in the sea.
These spills are usually accidental and occur when the big tankers have problems or sink.
The most serious point is that there are often spills purposefuly!

is highly forbidden, but much cheaper than doing it in port.And what happens when there is a spill?
What we saw on television in late 2002 with the ship 'reputation': plants, birds, mammal, fish and crustaceans that inhabit the area (Galicia, Spain) were affected by the oil spill. Because of the oil spill, living beings die intoxicated.
And if you think that the birds can escape, you are sorely mistaken. They dive to catch fish and then, with the weight of crude oil (the name of crude oil) in the wings,the birds no longer fly.
But this polluted water is not good for us: it is unfit for swimming or diving. Bathing in a dirty beach can make people sick.
Did you know that just one drop of oil can destroy hundreds and hundreds of gallons of water?
