quality. Pollution laws and pollution control technologies have succeeded especially well in cutting emissions from concentrated "point sources" like factories and sewage treatment plants. For example‚ from 1972 to 1992 the amount of sewage treated at wastewater treatment plants in the United States increased by 30 percent‚ yet the organic pollution (measured as the Biological Oxygen Demand) from these plants dropped 36 percent (CEQ 1995:229). Unfortunately‚ a new suite of contaminants from intensive
