Abstract in brief
Pollution is the leading environmental cause of disease, with around nine million premature deaths annually due to various pollutants, including ocean pollution, which significantly impacts human health and ecosystems.
The study aims to understand the effects of ocean pollution on health, raise awareness among policymakers and the public, and suggest ways to combat and prevent sea pollution.
Ocean pollution is largely driven by land-based sources, with a complex mix of toxic substances, and a troubling increase in plastic waste, particularly notable along coastlines of low- and middle-income countries.
A new study from Dr. Phil Landrigan & @BostonCollege reveals that "more than 80% (of ocean #pollution) arises from land-based sources." This includes industrial wastes, pesticides, chemicals & more.

The ocean’s got more than just plastic problems.
Mercury, oil, toxic chemicals… it’s a full-on attack down there.
Let’s protect our planet before it’s too late.

@schenckerville @uMarhobane Besides cancer it has numerous other dangers (see below). But that's beside the point. The point is that the City can do something about this but is choosing not to. Why should we have to swim in water full of Kak and harmful chemicals?

'Pollution ... is the largest environmental cause of disease in the world today. It is responsible for an estimated nine million premature deaths per year, enormous economic losses, erosion of human capital, and degradation of ecosystems'.
According to a new report co-written by several members of #BCI’s Health and Well Being working group and released on Dec 3rd 2020, when toxins in the oceans make landfall, they imperil the health and well-being of more than 3 billion people. https://t.co/gLd67VllOY https://t.co/9YaAsrFVuq
