Abstract
The problem of environmental pollution of estuaries is viewed in the wider perspective, including the role of mixing, as a process common to estuaries and other systems and regulated by spatial variations. Increasing mobilization of heavy-metals and other pollutants to the estuarine environment, imparting hazards to Man in the long run, is a cause for concern and provides the reasons and bases for environmental monitoring. Already total lessons have been learnt from catastrophic outbreaks of mercury poisoning in Japan.
