As a teacher, I need to do a short presentation for a chemistry class about polluted water for a lesson on Catholic Social Teaching. I need to directly relate the polluted water troubles of other countries (or our country) to a chem lesson. We are doing covalent compounds in the next chapter and discuss properties of water. I was hoping to fit it in at that time.
Any ideas?

Arsenic is a problem in water in parts of India and Bangladesh, I believe it leaches from the soil and bedrock. Interesting chemistry, no doubt.
Simpler is the chemistry of nitrogen compounds. Urine contains urea, which breaks down to ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. Nitrite in high concentrations causes "blue baby disease" - methemoglobinemia. Is NO2 ion covalent?
