Bio-Bottle

Our group is studying the effects that electronics have on the environment when are not disposed of properly. To gain more information on this topic we are creating two terra-aqua bottles. The first bottle will have a layer on dirt with electronics debris mixed in, then there will be a layer on regular soil, followed up with water at the botttom. The secong terra-aqua bottle will be our control will have two layers of dirt then a bottom filled with water. We will measure the effects that the electronics have on the environment by simulating rainfall by pouring water into the first layer of dirt , then we'll use a probe to measure the level of contaminants in the water. We think this will accurately represent the effect of electronics littering on the environment.
