water testing connection

1. nitrates and mcdonalds
2. we plan on reducing nitrates and pollutants emitted from mcdonalds. we also want to study the affects it plays on the environment.by doing so we can measure how better the environment would be if fast food places became more earth friendly. also we plan to measure the run off of waste and it affects on the environment
3. we will have several diff biobottle environments and one control bottle. in one bottle we will Be testing the effects of plastic in the environment. in the second we're testing the effects of pop in the soil. and finally in the third we are testing the effects of food left out in the environment to rot
4. nitrates can have several effects on the environment as well as on our health. one health affect in sever cases can be a decrease in hemoglobin(cells ability to carry oxygen). another is causing problems in thyroid function which can lead to weight gain, goiter development and bulging of the eyes. this connects to our test in a few ways. one is that in runoff it can get not only in to the aquatic life but also in our ground water. so therefor it will eventually all make it back to our bloodstream or damage the environment by killing of aquatic life.  http://www.lenntech.com/periodic/elements/n.htm
