detectableThe solution to pollution is not dilution. That is, due to the low levels
of contaminants in the effluent and the high volume cmd rate of flow in the St.
Clair River, most substances would be dispersed to the point of undetectability
within ten metres or so, If the contaminants were still decte after ten
kilometres. for example, that would be considered using dilution as a solution.
Since ICI trecrts the waste water before it is released. and with the mixhg zones
ço small, Lusby is confident thd the discharge is hdess because the
concentration is extremely low
