Thus they will have to bear the biggest part of the cost of the more than $10 billion program. The proposed treaty includes a blacklist of banned substances (for example, mercury, cadmium, radioactive materials) and a gray list of those that will be tolerated in specified quantities. All factories and sewage systems will be required to install antipollution devices, and new installations will have to conform to treaty specifications...
