The dangers of pollution from solvents is still present in the Department of Energy mixed waste dumps that have both solvents and radioactive waste. New Mexico is a primary example. Albuquerque, Los Alamos and Santa Fe have nuclear weapons legacy waste festering for future generations. There is an additional 80,000 tons of high level radioactive waste stored in spent fuel pools at reactor sites around the country with no strategy in place for disposition.

John Hartig said...

Obviously, there is a lot of work that remains to be done. The primary imperative for action is pollution prevention and control of contaminants at their source. Then we also must address leagacy pollution, including brownfields, contaminated sediment, and hazardous waste sites.

I have read this very informative book and feel it addresses the revival of these 4 rivers and how we do need to focus not only on "the problems remaining, but on the progress achieved" as so aptly put by the author John Hartig. This book gives us hope that we can do just that with many other problem water systems around the world.
