How polluted is the cal sag river in illinois?



would i be able to take a jet ski in it with out risk of getting sick. like i would get wet but not fall in thanks

Never, it is horribly polluted. Sewer and toxic chemicals are already deforming the fish. Problems in the area of concern include contamination from poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), poly nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals, such as mercury, cadmium, chromium and lead. Additional problems include high fecal coliform bacteria levels, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids, oil and grease. These contaminants originate from both point and non point sources. So, I definitely wouldn't jet ski or swim in it. Why take the chance if getting something nasty?
