Abstract:
Throughout history, heavy metals were frequently used as antimicrobials-substances that kill microorganisms such as mold or bacteria- but since, have been replaced by antibiotics that one can buy over the counter. Maya Hoon, environmentalist, and researcher, explains that the presence of heavy metals in surface water has allowed bacteria to build a resistance to synthetic antibiotics, creating an unfavorable public health issue.
