The Kundalika, Amba and Vashishti rivers near Mumbai are polluted with a high content of organochlorines and other persistent organic pollutants, as per the pre-monsoon tests undertaken by the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) on the rivers. The contamination is a result of industries letting out their untreated water into the rivers.
