Water pollution?
One of the biggest global problems today is the lack of access.
of fresh and potable water for healing and if we additionally add the problem of
water pollution the outlook worsens; There are various problems
but water pollution is very concerning, because drinking water is
a vital compound for the life of every living being and in recent years water has
begun to be lacking in some parts of the world, but water pollution
It can be defined in many ways, one of them and the most common is that it does
reference to the accumulation of one or more substances foreign to water that have been
collected to such an extent that they are generating a large amount of
consequences; among which includes the imbalance in the lives of beings
living beings such as animals, plants, and even susceptible people of different
diseases; insurance covers towns on October 13, 2017 and Vázquez. E

Importance of water pollution The pollution of seas and
Oceans are a growing reality in these times, and this has serious consequences.
consequences for marine life, such as disorientation problems,
alterations in food chains, toxicity to marine fauna,
destruction of marine ecosystems and, even, there ends up being also
consequences for humans, says (green ecology) as in some
In parts of the world, the main dishes are marine such as: fish, octopuses,
crabs, fireflies, and since they have been found in several parts of the world
thousands of marine animals die due to water pollution and
this is a very serious environmental problem fishermen report as the
Tourists when visiting beaches or islands request these seafood dishes, but because of
the contamination of water is often not found and its prices
they rise and are not bought, and there are people who live from fishing and from the
resources that nature provides them as indigenous tribes do like the
Nukak among others, and water pollution affects drastically the
survival of these marine species as well as terrestrial (land) species and of
fishermen we also need it for our crops for

our diet our body needs water.
What are heavy metals?
One of the main water pollutants is heavy metals.
heavy metals are a group of chemical elements these are generally
heavy metals are toxic to humans and marine and terrestrial species
They are composed of mercury, nickel, copper, lead, and chromium. If we are
specifically, the increase in water pollution is due to these compounds
they are of industrial, mining origins, The leachates from landfills or discharges of
wastewater can also be a source of pollution. But not
not everything is bad because it should also be noted that in some cases there are
waters that undergo a natural enrichment process in heavy metals when
to traverse aquifers formed by rocks that contain them in their composition.
Between 1800 and 1945, the first products began to be manufactured.

Most of these products were made of metals or derivatives. To the
as the use of chemicals increased, so did their
appearance in the waters. Heavy metals mostly come from the
nature but when its structure is modified or they come into contact with the
living beings can cause effects on health and even death and
destabilize aquatic ecosystems.
For these reasons, it is important to protect water and this is what we
we want with our research project which is focused on
reducing heavy metals, it is important to keep in mind that 100% does not

they throw their waste into the water so that it can be treated before being discharged

That is why we, the TEEMS, want to use bacteria to destroy metals.
