Water treatment only does so much...it mainly removes the nitrates and phosphates out of our waste. But all of our chemicals, also alter the water chemistry we are releasing back to the ocean. Things like our prescriptions that we excrete for instance. Sure 1, 2 million ppm is no big deal....But how about when 2/3 of the countries are on some sort of mood stabalizer/blood pressure meds/anti anxiety/ dick pills/ blood thinners......Metformin All these compounds bind in the water and are hard as hell to remove. I have been to a water treatment plant....it doesnt function much differently than a salt water reef system to be honest.
And these places are pretty inefficient...all them compounds and run off HAS to be causing harm.
