Thesaurus terms Eutrophication; Models; Oil pollution; Pollution

The project is designed to :

develop economic and ecological criteria which can be applied to determine the costs of various kinds of marine pollution;
develop mathematical equations which can be applied in economic submodels for the cost determination of environmental impacts.

Four cases of marine pollution are considered :

discharge of dangerous chemical substances (black list);
oil dumping;
increasing concentration of faecal/pathogenic bacteria as a result of the direct discharges of waste water into coastal waters;
eutrophication with resultant algal growth.
