Schantz, S.L. (2005). Lakes in crisis. Environmental Health Perspectives, 113(3), A148-A149. doi: 10.1289/ehp.113-a148

Schantz first establishes the uniqueness and fragility of the Great Lakes. She then discusses threats to their survival, including invasive species and toxic chemicals. She describes steps toward clean-up. Unfortunately, the imagination and sacrifice required suggest that restoration will be very challenging. She is not optimistic.

This article is credible because of the author's authority -- Schantz is a professor of Environmental Toxicology at the University of Illinois. Furthermore, the article comes from a peer-reviewed journal and the author provides an extensive bibliography at the end, citing a number of primary research studies on the Great Lakes. Finally, coming from a 2005 issue, the article is a little dated, but it covers the topic well.
