RE: Will we be using moss to remove lead from the drinking water in the future?

in #science6 years ago

But what about third world countries???
The situation is much dismal in poor countries thanks to corruption and malfeasance.
In my country arsenic contamination is taking toll and to make it worse there is no one to take notice or do something about it.

Sort:  

Third world countries have a lot more problems with lead in their drinking water than industrial/rich countries. Regions with mining operations close to drinking water are probably the ones who are most exposed to lead poisoning. Maybe some countries even still allow to have lead in the fuel (I sadly have no idea)?

Arsenic contamination is also a huge problem that can have fatal consequences! It sucks that no one is doing anything about it, @xabi :(
