What is an environment?

A new fact that was learned today were the possible pollutions that can come from farms. Many may know about pesticides and how they affect our environment from the farms that use them to keep away unwanted guests. However, pesticides is not the topic of this post, the star will be the increase in nitrate that have started to pollute the water within Wisconsin. Although the use of nitrogen is common for farmers to implement into their production of crops process, there has been an excess amount that has started to contaminate the water systems that are found either near the farm or within the communities water ways. Some of these adverse effects manly target pregnant women who could suffer consequences such as, birth defects, difficulty during the labor process, or harm to the infant within the womb. However, there has been a lot of attention brought to the public health department about the situation and some discussions on some of the solutions that may come into play. Overall, there has been action taken to prevent the situation from growing any further and who knew that nitrate could be a leading health issue that has certainly impacted the health of society.
