I don't monitor or watch pollution numbers. Everyone says the worst pollution in the river is from the fertilizer run off from farm lands. Much of this water also goes into the Atchafalaya river and then Atchafalaya swamp. No one mentions high levels of pollution in this area.

The part that makes the fertilizer issue a big deal is the algae bloom that causes oxygen deficiency.
As I understand it, it doesn't affect the Atchafalaya the same way as it essentially acts as a giant filter.
