Many of the pesticides for citrus trees are toxic to fish. When the citrus groves on a large farm were treated with pesticides,
high winds deposited 100 gallons of pesticides into a lake stocked with fish. To ensure survival of the fish, 95% of the pesticides must be removed from the lake within 96 hours of contamination. There are two methods of removal. A: Add a chemical reagent to the pond to neutralize the pesticide. This chemical reagent removes the pesticide at the rate of 11 gal/hr. B: Fit the pond with a filtration system. This system removes 4% of the remaining pesticides each hour. Method A sound reasonable but I am not sure and I also don't know how to create an equation for the method. Please help.
In the scenario above, the best method to use is A by the Addition of a chemical reagent to the pond to neutralize the pesticide. This chemical reagent removes the pesticide at the rate of 11 gal/hr.
<h3>What removes pesticides from water?</h3>
Pesticides can be removed from ponds water via chemical reagent through Chemical degradation and other ways.
Note that the first option is useful as the Addition of a chemical reagent to the pond to neutralize the pesticide because there are lot of chemical against that can eat up other chemicals that are harmful to the pond.
