Abstract
Until recently, pollution of the environment was considered a serious problem only in the highly industralised and heavily populated areas of the world. However, with the steady increase in population, urban migration and an increase in industrial development, the need to reduce pollution of the air, water resources (both fresh and estuarine) and in some cases of land in developing countries is becoming quite critical. This, is particularly important in the South Pacific in view of the geographical isolation and the ecological fragility of countries of this region.
