We are conducting all of these experiments to find out if the water, in school, is at a harmful rate to humans. If any harmful chemicals (like lead) seep into the water, it would endanger the people's health. Therefore, with a test, these harmful chemicals can be identified. For example, school water contains phosphorus, and too much phosphorus in the human body is harmful to the human body. Unsafe water might effect pregnant women in the school. One of the diseases that affect pregnant women is the "blue baby syndrome". It is harmful to infants because it is caused by nitrogen seeping in the water. We are studying school water because since the population keeps growing we have to irrigate more places so there are more chances to get water from an affected area. School water is drank by the entire population of the school, and it can be contaminated, which can allow a harmful chemicals to spread. We need to drink water in school because we participate in sport/activities that dehydrates us. We identified chemicals that might be in the water because of rusty, old, or leaky pipes. Pollution can spread and arrive in water reservoirs where people and schools receive their water. Therefore, it is important to study our school water because we supporting 800 kids and 50 staff members and thus it is important for our water to be clean and healthy.
