Fish are especially sensitive to heavy metals in the water (more than people). A recent study shows that 76% of the U.S. mines surveyed exceeded water quality standards, polluting rivers and groundwater. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), mine waste has contaminated more than 40 percent of the headwaters of western watersheds.

16.12.2013Silver tarnishes in air to form a black coating of silver sulphide, which has the formula Ag 2 S. The chemical equation for the formation of silver tarnish following reaction with hydrogen sulphide (H 2 S) is as follows:. 2 Ag (s) + H 2 S (g) → Ag 2 S (s) + H 2(g). There's speculation that, in the present day, tarnishing of silver actually occurs more quickly due to
