    Heavy metals are elements that exhibit metallic properties. It mainly includes the transition metals, basic metals, some metalloids, lanthanides, and actinides. Many different definitions have been proposed—some based on density, some on atomic number or atomic weight, and some on chemical properties or toxicity (Duffus, 2002). Example for some heavy metal are iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) etc. Iron is important as a mineral in human body (part of haemoglobin)

    Water Pollution and its Effects on Aquatic Life Charles Darwin, the father of evolutionary biology, states in his theory of evolution that only organisms better fit to survive in their environment will survive. Based on his theory and research, it can be concluded that challenges to the environment directly affect the organisms. Research shows that in particular water pollution; hospital wastewater and sewage wastewater, is shown to cause antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, excess nutrients such

    Skyah Grant David Gomez 3/27/18 Air Pollution Assay Lab Report Abstract: In this lab we had 5 different samples of lichen and put one of each metal solution into the samples of lichen to determine how heavy metal air pollution effects species. Each lichen sample ended in different results. Introduction: lichen is a symbiotic association (mutualistic) between a fungus and an algae or cyanobacterium The body of the lichen (thallus)is a mix of both organisms. in this way, one would not be able to
