Learning 2B Labs Inc. Q.A. Dept Neutral Office Healthyville, FL Dear Young Scientist Interns, Recently my community’s water supply has been contaminated, as a result, of the introduction of polluting chemicals. The pollutants are making the water unsafe for consumption thereby endangering local human and animal life. While the chemicals can be removed and filtered from the water, the effects of the pollution still exist. This includes turning water extremely acidic. All water consumed must first be filtered. I have researched several purification systems which may be used to clean our drinking water. I need your help in determining which to suggest for the community. Our community consists of many families with varied incomes and needs. Your team is to rank the purification systems from highest to lowest using the research provided. Teams should consider: purification method, initial cost, cost per gallon, convenience, filter lifetime, and other accompanying information. Please write a letter in response including: a rank of purification systems and a detailed description of the method you used to rank them. Thank you for your participation in this project. Sincerely, Indi Pink, PhD
