Devastating Fish Kill Linked to Low pH Levels from Mining Contamination

DESCRIPTION

The Fish Kill Project highlights a drastic drop in water pH levels to 4.3, akin to that of root beer, resulting in a catastrophic fish kill. This significant acidity, caused by contaminants from mining activities, stunned and killed aquatic life. Our investigation points to a mining company responsible for introducing harmful metals into the water, alongside sanitation workers whose failure to maintain normal pH levels exacerbated the crisis. This situation raises urgent questions about environmental safety and accountability.

FishKill Project By: Christian Pearson Lee, Candie Amezquita, Kailee Candie, Raymond Hayes

Quote by NTJ As you can see from the graphs, the pH level of the water dropped drastically to a level of 4.3 which is roughly the pH level of Root Beer. So to imagine fish swimming through Root Beer is almost unthinkable but it became a near reality in levels of acidity during the week of the fish kill.
We think the people responsible are... Mining Company • the metals in the water contribute to the low pH levels • they used a chemical that went into the water and stunned the fish, and killed them. Sanitation Workers Why? • Low pH level • if the pH level was at its normal level did their job , there would be no fishkill.
