Lake Erie
An algal bloom that originates west of Lake Erie depletes the oxygen in the area and makes it nearly difficult for species to survive. Fertilizer from fields and rivers that run into the lake is a major contributing factor.
According to a recent study, the issue is now persistent. Semafor states that “new peer-reviewed research shows that toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” are ubiquitous in the air, rain, atmosphere, and water of the Great Lakes basin.” The basin contains almost 95% of the country’s freshwater, and the first-of-its-kind, comprehensive picture of PFAS levels for the area shows that precipitation is most likely a major factor in the lakes’ contamination.
Thus, it originates from the skies after coming from the rivers.
This is just another illustration of how pollution issues turn into long-lasting, unavoidable issues. It has occurred all throughout the world, from India to Phoenix. These kinds of unsolvable issues might be marginally improved by scientists and the government, but maybe those efforts should focus on those that can be avoided or altered.
