Fluoride is in our drinking water a lot of the time so it can be hard to think of it as a contamination but it really can be one. These students have found a plan for cleaning it up in a way that is cheap and relatively easy. This is a great thing because it will help the environment. It is also good because it shows the students working hard to protect the environment. Whenever you see a student doing this it says good things for the future of our planet.
