Toxic Dumping in Great Lakes on the Increase
- "Toxic pollution in Great Lakes waterways has jumped 25 percent over the past six years, thanks at least in part to rampant illegal discharges from large industrial facilities and sewer plants. Meanwhile, government enforcement efforts on both the national and state levels are stagnating, meaning that most of the violators don't get punished." - excerpt from Grist Magazine email newsletter from 10/6/2003.
