In the article, "Tainted Water Near Colorado Bases Hints at Wider Safety Concerns", Julie Turkewitz discusses how the well water in Colorado got contaminated by chemicals that has an effect on humans. These chemicals cause low birth weight, cancers, thyroid disease and so on. Some have conquered that this contamination wasn't occurred by manufacturing, but by aqueous fire foam. To help for the meanwhile, while trying to clean the water, they have blocked off the contaminated water areas, and have been getting purified water from other states.
I believe this is a serious environmental issue because it brings dehydration among the people. It even effects the people who have already digested this contaminated water, bringing risks to themselves, and possibly unborn children. It even might bring problems to the environment as well, by possibly effecting the ground water which then effects the plants. With this i conquer that this water pollution mishap is a serious environmental issue. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/26/us/tainted-water-near-colorado-bases-hints-at-wider-safety-concerns.html?rref=collection%2Ftimestopic%2FWater%20Pollution&action=click&contentCollection=timestopics®ion=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=7&pgtype=collection&_r=0
