You know... 1 drop of 409 cleaner (or similar pollutant) into a 300g aquarium will do a TON of damage - maybe even kill everything.
and the ratio of that drop to the tank is a lot bigger than either the water/air example in that link.
I wonder how people would feel or if their perspective would change if all human "waste" was pumped directly into those 2 small spheres? (and their food sources are fed from those spheres)
I'm sure someone will say something to the affect of concentration vs water/air being spread out, flowing, going through cycles and hosting animals/plants still offset our pollution/waste - but their minds are already made up now aren't they?
Great post!

Well, If your fish are swimming funny or growing extra whiskers or something, this might be the reason why. prescription Drugs and chemicals in our water supply. None of which are removed from our drinking water.

a good arguement for a good DI filter on your RO.

oops - I think I meant smaller ratio
is my mind made up? I dunno about global warming... but I believe other pollutants are having a negative environmental impact (and have seen areas completely changed to what I believe are human impacts)

the way i see it is if an RO can remove ions from the water the how much easier can it remove these large molecules. if you think about it some RO systems require that the water pass through a semi-permiable membrane and lets say that i can remove something as small as Fe2O3 then what makes you think it cant remove something like dopamin ,C6H3(OH)2-CH2-CH2-NH2, which is common in our tap?

Lol, you need data to show that pollution has negative impacts on the environment?

"tree hugger shock media" (quoted from link)
I think it's funny that some people think there's a big conspiracy of environmentalism, in fact it's so funny I want to cry.
As if you need proof or scientific studies to show that the Earth has been horribly maimed. It's not up for debate, that mind set that the world is too big for us to impact is on the same level as the world is flat and the sun revolves around the earth. Laughable.
Not debatable: forests gone, water poisoned, air poisoned, garbage everywhere, massive extinction, receding glaciers, dying reefs, rising sea level, too many people, exhaustion of resources, societal lack of consciousness, inadequate education, corrupt media and government, messed up economy - all related.
Did you know that what we think of as most of the standard effects of aging have been traced to ubiquitous lead in the environment? Isn't that special? Ever wonder just why they put lead in everything for so long: gas, paint, innoculations?
The pharms in the water supply: free health care for everyone and man boobs. :celeb3:

That was government sponsored, modern science at one time.
