Water pollution can be caused by a variety of things. Firstly, sewage is dumped directly into the seas without being treated properly. This is a global problem, with equally significant challenges in high-, middle-, and low-income countries. Sewage pollution has reduced the water quality and posed several threats to human health. Secondly, cruise ships release a large amount of garbage into the ocean every year. 40 percent of cruise ships depend on 30-year-old waste treatment technology, leaving sewage with high levels of bacteria, heavy metals and other pollutants that are harmful to aquatic life and people. The third reason is oil spills. Oil spills happen in many different ways. Most of these spills are small and happen accidentally, for example oil spills while refueling a ship. But these spills can still cause damage, especially if they happen in sensitive
environments. Large oil spills are disasters. These tend to happen when pipelines break, or big oil tankers sink. The negative effects of oil spills on the ecosystems and economies can be seen for decades following a large oil spill. Question 31. What is the OPPOSITE meaning of “significant” in the context?
