industrial activity around corio bay has resulted in pollution to the bay:









































bullet::::- in 1974, severe cadmium contamination of mussels from corio bay was reported. levels as high as 41.5 µg/g had been found. the corio bay contamination was traced to an industrial effluent which later ceased. after that time, cadmium levels in corio bay mussels decreased to below the nh&mrc limits.









































bullet::::- lead levels were significantly high in mussels in corio bay in 1977-78 and remained above the maximum permitted concentration of 2.5 µg/g up to the last measurements made prior to 1992

in highly regulated developed countries, industrial effluent usually receives at least pretreatment if not full treatment at the factories themselves to reduce the pollutant load, before discharge to the sewer. this process is called industrial wastewater treatment or pretreatment. the same does not apply to many developing countries where industrial effluent is more likely to enter the sewer if it exists, or even the receiving water body, without pretreatment.
