What Environmental problem?

Question

I am doing a project in Chemistry class and I need to present a project to the class on an environmental problem.

My teacher has explained to us that he does not want to have Global Warming or air pollution and that the issue needs to relate to chemistry.

Please Help!

Answer 1

How about studying the the chelation of heavy metals out of mine tailings?  Or the chemical clean up of oil spills? Or the chemical break down of anthropogenic plastic ?

Answer 2

Okay, here ya go...

Go to the Merk Manual and look up Winkler Titration.  Find out the steps for titrating NH+ out of a solution and relate it to the amount of cow waste that enters into rivers and streams along large cattle operations....that is a real environmental problem that the EPA just can't get its arms around.
