Water pollution needs to be reviewed as the increase in toxins in possible drinking water has increased in the last 20 years. Through the use of our technology and use alternative renewable energy sources, re-evaluating our usage and methods of disposing waste preserving both fresh and marine water in the United States. A common discrepancy that is brought up when discussing water pollution is whether the cost will become too large to even begin creating change, that the amount of resources required to implement could be used elsewhere for a more immediate impact. The discussion of environmental problems is a topic of many political debates, but throughout the years scientific evidence has documented the …show more content…
The fact that fluoride in polish drinking water is prevalent in many United States households, similar to Arizona events where tap water has been flooded with a high containment of lead that can cause severe health problems. This results because of the amount of fracking and drilling operations currently enacted. Humans can be exposed to the adverse effects by being exposed of water pollution. “results of some animal and epidemiological studies suggest that fluoride demonstrates nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, and may adversely affect thyroid function and fertility”( Lewicka 2) to show the range that excessive fluoride exposure has on all organisms. A similar experiment held by “The YRWQM predicted the variations of water quality resulting from agricultural pollution, which flowed into the reservoir with a flood lasting for 12 days in 2009” (Zhang 3) and compared to the information revealed in Lewickas research can be looked upon as the contamination of water with fluoride that damages drinking water for both man and wildlife. Unlike Zhang Wei and others article discusses the psychological effects of water pollution aside from the average discussions in the previous articles talking about the physical health problems and scarring. The most frequently studied features of environmental issues are high uncertainty (Weber & Chapman, 2005). The concern of the environment is an issue that is mostly avoided until it is presented directly to the audience in order to create an incentive to change ones actions that have after effects, similar to how “Individuals tend to interpret any sign of uncertainty, for example, the rate at which the resource regenerates or the probability of a nuclear leakage, as a sufficient reason for favoring self-interest rather than that of the environment” (Zhang 3). The evidence can be compared to the
