Good evening and thank you so much for following my blog posts for the past 12 weeks. Water pollution is indeed an important issue and I would like to use this final post to summarise whatever I covered.
For the first half of the semester, I managed to explore the different types of water pollution, with highlights such as water-borne pathogens, heavy metals and micro-plastics. After which, I explored a case study, that of the Minamata disease, which highlighted the harmful effects of methyl-mercury. Thereafter, we explored COVID-19 and its effects on water quality and pollution. We finally ended off the whole “dive” at home, by exploring how Singapore managed its water resources.
However, I would like to emphasise that despite this blog coming to an end, our efforts to prevent water pollution should never cease. Let’s do our best to preserve water quality, not only for humans, but other living things on the planet as well.
