Are there studies being done to study that monitor, and assess, the impact of chlorine and other sewage by-products on whales and other marine life? - Tom, Burlington, Mass
Recently, there was a large scale treatment plant built outside Boston Massachusetts that would appear to be concentrating large volumes of outflow into the habitat of many near-shore species, such as the Humpback Whale. I would think with the increasing populations along shoreside communities, this must be having influences on everything from herring to whales. What do other major shoreside cities do to its sewage, compared to landlocked major cities?.
