Water Pollution in Hawthorne

Water pollution is a big problem all around the world especially in Hawthorne park. There has been a lot of garbage in the water and white liquids floating on the water and there has been a sighting of a dead duckling near the water. The addition of harmful chemicals to natural water are lead, mercury, fluoride and many more. Water pollution is one of biggest causes of deaths of people and animals. The main thing that causes water pollution are disposing of sewage, people’s garbage, oil spills and many more. Although the water pollution isn’t only caused by humans it’s also caused by animals. The waste produced by animals is washed away into rivers when it rains. It gets mixed up with other harmful chemicals and causes water borne diseases. Car fluids enter run-off which causes toxins and harmful chemicals that flow into stream. Runoff from rainwater often contains things like cleaning products, automotive fluids, fertilizers, paints, solvents, pool and hot tub water, amongst other chemical contaminants. This water flows into catch basins or storm drains, such as the one on 141(?) street, and then directly into the stream without treatment. In result, fish, insects and the environment may be harmed or killed.
