Geraldo can add a pollutant with slightly basic nature so he will have a solution of neutral pH of 7.

The pH of a solution is the negative logarithm to base ten of the hydrogen ions concentration of the solution.

The pH of 6.5 means that the solution is acidic.

By adding a pollutant which is slightly basic in nature, Geraldo will have a solution of neutral pH which is a pH of 7.
