Pollutive spills in water harm all lives. Pollution poisons the drinking water for humans as well as for animals, while also destroying natural habitats and eradicating complete ecosystems in the water and in its surroundings. Pollution also has a cumulative effect over the health of people and animals in areas where it strikes, sentencing many to live with chronic diseases and develop mutations across generations.
Many public and private organizations around the world are investing their best efforts in preventing pollution spills from occurring, and in combating such spills from spreading once they have occurred.
The Problem
Approximately 2.6 Billion litres of waste are spilled into oceans annually. Pollution spills pose great danger for entire ecosystems as well as to people. Pollution contaminates drinking water and expedites the spread of diseases. Today, governments, local authorities, industrial factories and NGOs all battle with the necessity to monitor pollution spills to oceans, lakes, reservoirs and creeks.
