I think it's really all about quantity. The oceans all contain a certain level of toxicity and radioactivity, it's just below the threshold where we are affected in our life times. The problem with farm pollutants is that they have become more concentrated for a given land area. The use of the automobile seems to parallel this completely. So where initially, the automobile might have been in a sort of equilibrium with the environment, now the number and concentration is surpassing the capacity of the land and atmosphere absorb their waste (and space required).
