Rock Salt Could be Contaminating Your Water With Lead!

In ocean county, a river that provides water for over 85,000 people is having a large increase in salt in the water. And it is effecting more than just the water taste. The salt wears down the lead sauntering in the pipes which puts tiny lead particles in the water that you drink.

I think this is dangerous because this is exactly what happend in the city of Flint. Cities thinking that using salt is doing all good when in reality it may be causing people to get lead poisoning.

    It also ends up creating salinity conditions in the waterway that make the ecosystem uninhabitable for many of its native residents and further salinizes surrounding soil.

    I agree this is a a very bad problem, lead poisoning is not good, and along with the people its effecting it may also be effecting animals as well.

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
