ARMENIAN RIVERS ARE DANGEROUS
Support A1+!The results of the investigation realized by the Ministry of Ecology about the level of pollution of the Armenian rivers show that the level of substances dissolved in the water of the Armenian rivers exceeds the allowed norms several times.
The basin of the river Debed is especially highly polluted. In the samples from the river Akhtala the levels of aluminum, zinc and copper are exceeded by 159.5, 408.4 and 932 times. And the levels of manganese, lead and iron are exceeded by 67.2, 11 and 16 times. The same can be seen in the other rivers.
These numbers are not simply violations but they affect the human health directly. But in this case not only the people but the whole environment suffers from the river pollution. The accumulations of lead, aluminum and other metals are especially dangerous. “Heavy metal is dangerous as it can be accumulated in the human organism”, biologist Susanna Hakobyan says.
As we know, the water of the rivers is used fro irrigation. Factually the water intoxicates the plants and animals first, and then people.
