Pollution conditions are summarized as follows Rivers are the chief sources of marine pollutants, followed by the direct discharge of factories, ships, sea ports, and offshore platforms; Oil is the main pollutant in the sea, and is more serious in some coastal regions of the Bohai, the Huanghai, and the East China seas; Organic pollution (coinciding with high COD) and nutrients are more evident than oil pollution in some coastal regions; Heavy-metal pollution is not serious, except in some small parts of the inshore and estuarine waters; Air pollution is heavy over the cities, especially over the steel works.
