Pollution isn’t always so picturesque! Pollution in the air, water and soil is our Area of Study 1 topic, starting in term 3. We will do case studies of mercury (a heavy metal), suphur dioxide (gas) and fluoride. The Environmental Protection Authority of Victoria , National Pollutants Inventory , the CSIRO and the World Health Organisation are the best resources for this unit.

Check out this interesting article about the “Seldom-seen devastation of climate change“.

I hope you all studied hard and found the exam a fair test of your understanding of Unit 3. I will see you in Melbourne during your first week of work experience and look forward to visiting some of you in your work places. Have a great June holiday!
