Massive pollution documented over Indian Ocean
|
An international group of scientists has documented widespread pollution covering about 10 million square kilometers of the tropical Indian Ocean-roughly the same area as the continental United States. This finding by scientists participating in the Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) raises serious questions about what impact the extensive pollution is having on climate processes and on marine life in the ocean below.
INDOEX, a $25 million project, sponsored in part by the National Science Foundation (NSF), is investigating how tiny pollutant particles called aerosols are transported through ...
