Features: Based on the urgent need for total pollutant discharge control in the Bohai Sea, this book systematically discusses the theoretical foundation of marine environmental capacity, analyzes the marine environmental quality of the Bohai Sea, and calculates the marine environmental capacity of major chemical pollutants in the Bohai Sea. It examines the changing patterns of total pollutant discharge into the Bohai Sea since the 1960s, the composition of various pollution sources, the spatiotemporal changes of pollutant concentrations in seawater, and the effects of phytoplankton growth. The book elaborates on the principles of marine environmental capacity calculation, proposes a methodological system for calculating marine environmental capacity, and determines the baseline and minimal marine environmental capacities for nitrogen, phosphorus nutrients, COD, petroleum hydrocarbons, and heavy metals in the Bohai Sea. Based on the principle of pollutant discharge allocation, it provides scientific recommendations for reducing total pollutant discharge into the Bohai Sea, considering the actual pollutant fluxes from the four major river basins surrounding the Bohai Sea: the Yellow River, Hai River, Luan River, and Liao River. This book is suitable for researchers and management personnel engaged in marine environmental protection and governance, as well as serving as a teaching reference for doctoral and master's students in related fields at universities.
