for SWL. Therefore, our knowledge of what these effects 

 are is very limited. 



However , we know from various other studies 

 that we have potentials such as vibrio paraheamolyticum, 

 Clostridia, enteric bacteria, viruses, carcinogenic sub- 

 stances that could be utilized ^n these areas. 



On the second part is the cumulative 

 effects, as was mentioned by Mr. Glude, that we are now 

 faced with the potential of thermal pollution as well as 

 pollution from wastes and other toxicants. This cumulative 

 effect could be very dangerous and very hazardous, because 

 many of the things that are associated with certain of 

 these wastes could be utilized as nutrients for some of the 

 pathogenic microorganisms. For example, at one time SWL 

 was considered as a very good media for torula yeast, 

 which is in the fungi group, and I don't think there are 

 more than two micrologists in the world today who are even 

 studying fungi in the estuarlne area. 



We accepted those as proposed in this study 

 as a long step forward in removing potential pollution 

 sources that could be considered ^s potential public 

 health problems. 



Thank you. 



CHAIRMAN STEIN: Thank you, Mr. Beck. Any
