I have never been in the water in Chicago, but I can say for certain the Pacific, just five miles from where I'm typing this, is filthy.
It's filthy at the shore, and it's filthy way out where most of us never see it. That guy who recently paddle boarded from San Francisco to Hawaii said he saw floating plastic the entire way (that's some 2,300+ miles). One can only imagine what the water, air, and sun are breaking that plastic down into.
