The river is also polluted with sewage, polychlorinated biphenyls(PCB's), which are man-made chemicals, pesticides, bacteria, etc. ]]> 2021-06-17 11:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/narnold0724/jzcy0jq00zwz24e9/wish/1612060201 mmcnamara0429 https://padlet.com/narnold0724/jzcy0jq00zwz24e9/wish/1612062215 These solutions will definitely benefit the health of the Hudson River.  They may not bring it to 100% pollution (which is the presence into the environment of a substance or thing that has harmful or poisonous effects) free because there will always be people against the change, but these solutions are definitely worth a try.

PCB's have been dumped into the River as early as 1947, but the pollution did not become a problem until about 30 years ago. ]]> 2021-06-17 11:56:19 UTC https://padlet.com/narnold0724/jzcy0jq00zwz24e9/wish/1612067343 narnold0724 https://padlet.com/narnold0724/jzcy0jq00zwz24e9/wish/1612073436 There has been mercury found in many of the fish in the river. The PCBs caused extensive contamination of fish in the river and apparently triggered a rapid evolutionary(which means the gradual developement of something) change in the Atlantic tomcod. This causes any fish who eat this fish to accumulate any of the PCB's that the fish might have had. ]]> 2021-06-17 12:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/narnold0724/jzcy0jq00zwz24e9/wish/1612073436 mmcnamara0429 https://padlet.com/narnold0724/jzcy0jq00zwz24e9/wish/1612073858 Its waters are home to over 200 species of fishes.
