Fish Get Pooped Living in Polluted Waters

Fish get Pooped Living in Polluted Water


               
Fish’s bodies are being forced to work harder in able to survive because of the pollution being flushed into the waters. There are wastewater treatment plants but they can’t remove a lot of the common drugs that come from human’s bodies like birth control and depression meds. These drugs in the water cause the fishes effect the metabolism of the fish and them to have to use more energy to live and keep them at a non-rest state. I think this article is interesting because no one ever thinks that they are the causes of some pollution and death of the fish. It’s funny that we somewhat take advantage of the fish and fish them faster than they can reproduce, but at the same time we are also killing them if their body cant adjust.

    With this much struggle why doesn't the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act step in and take action?

    I find this very interesting because some people needs certain medications in order to function normally like anti depressants. Are there any ways to get around the pollution that is ultimately killing these fish.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
