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).
