ABSTRACT:

This Research about dumping of waste in sea and its effects on the environment, communities around the world used the ocean for waste disposal, including the disposal of chemical and artificial wastes, radioactive wastes, trash, munitions, sewage sludge, and defiled trolled material. Pollution - unwanted waste released to air, water, and land by human activity - is the largest environmental cause of disease in the world today. It is responsible for an estimated nine million premature deaths per year, enormous economic losses, erosion of human capital, and degradation of ecosystems. Ocean pollution is an important, but insufficiently recognized and inadequately controlled component of global pollution. It poses serious threats to human health and well-being. The nature and magnitude of these impacts are only beginning to be understood.In particular this is the case for wastes which will become submerged since the dispersion in internal layers of the sea can be very weak. Various criteria for selection of dumping sites are discussed, and especially the significance of the physical conditions and their variability is demonstrated. The lack of reliable theoretical models is stressed, for instance for predicting the depth of penetration of sludge wastes, and the limited scientific knowledge about many of the relevant aspects in general is emphasized.The deleterious effects of plastic debris on the marine environment were reviewed by bringing together most of the literature published so far on the topic.
