For example humans, animals, and plants would die without clean water. ]]> 2016-12-09 16:42:49 UTC https://padlet.com/derrickgonzalez169/toxic_chemicals_in_water/wish/142847548 derrickgonzalez169 https://padlet.com/derrickgonzalez169/toxic_chemicals_in_water/wish/142848502 Humans can reverse this problem in a way that no more water can be infected with toxic chemicals by not dumping waste in water, not dumping "metals and solvents", and preventing pesticides in farms. Pesticides is a gas being poured on crops and plants, but can go to soil, to water cusing it to get polluted. Also the gas can go from the soil, to clouds, then dropped with rainfall to water. ]]> 2016-12-09 16:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/derrickgonzalez169/toxic_chemicals_in_water/wish/142848502 derrickgonzalez169 https://padlet.com/derrickgonzalez169/toxic_chemicals_in_water/wish/142855214 A big place toxic chemicals infect the water is in Ranipet, India. "where leather tanning wastes contaminate groundwater with hexavalent chromium, made famous by Erin Brockovich, resulting in water that apparently stings like an insect bite." That quote shows that with chemicals contaminating the water, with just touching the toxic water you feel a "sting".

Another action we do is throw trash that can contain toxic chemicals, or produces to toxic chemicals into the water.]]> 2016-12-09 17:08:33 UTC https://padlet.com/derrickgonzalez169/toxic_chemicals_in_water/wish/142855510 derrickgonzalez169 https://padlet.com/derrickgonzalez169/toxic_chemicals_in_water/wish/142855872 Infected toxic water affects the environment because with no clean water, plants die, humans die, animals die, every organism gets effected. With plants dying from no water, consumers don't have nothing to feed on, causing biodiversity to decrease.]]> 2016-12-09 17:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/derrickgonzalez169/toxic_chemicals_in_water/wish/142855872 derrickgonzalez169 https://padlet.com/derrickgonzalez169/toxic_chemicals_in_water/wish/143519394 A study by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board, "nearly 15 lakh tonne of solid wastes accumulated over two decades of plant operation are stacked in an open yard on the premises contaminating the groundwater. The contamination has affected the health, resources and livelihood of thousands." That quote shows how Ranipet is a big toxic infected area, and cause of water pollution causes risk for people's lives.]]> 2016-12-14 04:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/derrickgonzalez169/toxic_chemicals_in_water/wish/143519394 derrickgonzalez169 https://padlet.com/derrickgonzalez169/toxic_chemicals_in_water/wish/143763909 -http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-ranipet-among-world-s-top-ten-polluted-cities-1087070
