Presentation transcript:

 Who › Newmont Mining Corporation  What › Mining accounts for 96% of the toxic chemical pollution  Where › In Nevada  When › In million pounds were released, while in million pounds were released

 Who › Chesapeake Bay  What › Excess nutrients cause algae pollutions to grow rapidly. This leads to reduction in sunlight and in dissolved oxygen  Where › Surrounded Maryland and Virginia  When › Since 1960, there’s been a substantial increase in the amount of Bay bottom with low levels of dissolved oxygen
