Title: Water on the Web
Alright, for like the fifth time I am going to be talking about this website. I am doing it in so many posts because it covers so much and I feel like one post would be unworthy. But, on my next post I am going to branch out and cover a different source. So anyways, I found that turbidity can have negative effects on water. "Particulates also provide attachment sites for heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury and lead, and many toxic organic contaminants such as PCBs, PAHs and many pesticides." I thought that was pretty interestnig because my Beyond the Border topic is pesticides effect on the environment and this shows that water turbidity and pesticides in water are sometimes related.
