There is not necessarily one type of pollution that worse than other pollution.
Here are some thoughts concerning the effects of pollution in general on our oceans.
It has only be in the past thirty years that we have come to realize the effects that pollution is having on our oceans. In the past it was perceived that the world's oceans had an infinite capacity for absorbing our waste. Recently, we have come to realize that our waste, even in small quantities, have huge effects on ocean communities and species.
Some major types of pollutants that have been the focus of recent research are oil, sewage, garbage, chemicals, radioactive waste, thermal pollution, and eutrophication.
Guess YOU will have to be the judge.
