The process of dilution involves
disposing the pollutants in large amounts
of water in order to break down the
chemicals naturally.
This method of disposal is not proven to
be a good solution because the current
population is too large; hence, there are
more chemicals that are disposed of in the
ocean. If all the waste chemicals are
accumulated, then it can be quite
overwhelming for the ocean. Eventually,
many of the toxic substances interfere
with the water quality and cause algal
blooms. This decreases the productivity of
water ecosystems and even threatens
aquatic life.
