They decided to do some fieldwork to see if this was true. However, before they started their investigation their teacher warned them about the possible dangers of doing fieldwork in a polluted river. She also suggested some precautions they might take to protect themselves. (a) (i) Suggest two dangers which their teacher may have warned them about and suggest how they might protect themselves whilst working in a polluted river.

[2] (b) The students agreed on two hypotheses to investigate. Hypothesis 1: The river is most polluted near to the factory and the level of pollution decreases downstream. Hypothesis 2: Animal life in the river is affected by water pollution. To measure the level of water pollution the students did some research in the local library. They found some secondary data which showed the results of a study into the levels of dissolved oxygen and ammonia in the river. The results of the study included the following: • • Oxygen is essential for animals to live in rivers. Polluted rivers have low dissolved oxygen levels. Ammonia is a chemical which pollutes water. A summary of the secondary data is shown in Fig. 11 (Insert). © UCLES 2011 2217/21/M/J/11 For Examiner’s Use 19 (i) Having studied the secondary data shown in Fig. 11 the students agreed with Hypothesis 1: The river is most polluted near to the factory and the level of pollution decreases downstream.

They decided to investigate why tourists came to Chiang Mai and what impact tourism had on people who lived in the city.
