Dead Zone Gulf of Mexico
a large zone of hypoxia caused by excessive decomposition of algae
the largest oxygen-free zone identified to date
present year round

How can the problems associated with industrial discharge be prevented?
clean water act
must be pretreated/detoxified
1. strong acids or alkalis can corrode the pipes
2. can kill the microorganisms that kill microbe involved in secondary treatment
if that body of water is used for drinking, irrigation or recreation
