What to put in the hole?

A containment dome is a 4-story, 70 ton structure that the company plans to lower to stop one of the three leaks. The company was also planning to install a shut off valve but did not! A blowout preventer is a device that is used to stop leaks, but in this case it created a big explosion.One of BP's investors is FBR Capital Markets. With the spill and no way to stop the leaks, FBR lost their entire investment. One thing I would do to prevent this from happening again is I would hire a special team to make sure we use shut off vavles everytime we decide to spill.

Dirty Mouth?

There was seven ions that we tested in our experiment. Those ions were Carbonate, Chloride, Chromate, Iron, Lead, Phosphate, Sulfate. In my example two, I test the water from a water fountain and it tested positive for Iron. i wasn't too surprised. In my example three i tested water from a pond near mason town and it tested positive for Iron and Phosphate. I thought the water would be very polluted from the looks of the water. I did not find any pollutants.

Chromium 6 is very harmful and can cause stomache aches, ulcers, and liver and kidney damage. Chromium 6 causes cancer and Chromium 3 is a nutrionally essential in humans and is often added to vitamins.
