Toxic Waste
Chemical Spills in Our World
Chemicals are used in factories, in our homes, and even on our food. Chemical spills can poison our land, air, and water. In 2000, a toxic spill in Romania poisoned one of its most beautiful rivers, killing hundreds of thousands of fish and polluting the drinking water of the people who lived nearby. This book explores chemical spills in our world, showing their impact on the people, animals, and the environment.
