Baltimore Harbor is polluted by discharge of sewage and industrial wastes into tributary streams and peripheral waters.  The Harbor is used extensively for navigation, industrial water supply, and recreation as well as for waste disposal.  The degree of pollution varies from negligible in the principal fairway to severe in the innermost sections.  Private industry discharges several hundred tons of acid materials daily and is also the principal source of organic pollution
