Hello bloggers:

How are you this week? I wait that well J
Today we will talk about the pollution of heavy metals.

This article talks about a study led by a team of the University of Chile where they investigate the pollution of heavy metals like copper or zinc in water and soils of our country. This study was done in the central part of our country and the results showed that the copper levels where high in the water and that affects the soil directly so it was also contaminated. This research also shows the content of the heavy metals in rivers like Mapocho where the copper was the highest of them all.

I like this article because water is very important for everyone and it talks about the place where we live in the country. This is important for my area of study because it is producing pollution which, with the time, will reverberate in the available minerals in the soil and this way there would be minor production or conservation.
