Article Quote Sandwich
In the Article “Toxic Dust and Asthma Plague Salton Sea Communities” the sea is shrinking faster than we think. In the next years the sea wouldn’t not receive water from the Colorado River making the shrinking process faster. The shrinking would expose toxic dust that lay in the shores of the sea. when high winds comes it would create a dust ball that would travel all across the valley and other communities cause respiratory issues. Nearest communities already show kids suffering from asthma, allergies and other respiratory issues. According to Eva, a mother of three children's with asthma said, “I know asthma is going to get worse for the kids.” “If it doesn’t get fixed, there is going to be a lot of ill people with breathing problems.” The risk is high if nothing is done. I don't have to be an environment, or health expert to know asthma is increasing as the sea shrinks. Things only would get worst, but we are still on time to prevent it.
