My name is Byron Cox and I am an environmental science major from the city of Helotes, Texas. I’m currently a junior with a set graduation date of May 2023 and a desire to aid in city-wide conservation efforts. I often spend my time being with friends or doing volunteer work, though the best times are when I’m doing both! My goal is to do the most I can for the conservation field, and I look forward to a career someday doing just that.

Hi Byron, I really enjoyed your graphics. I had always thought that Water Chlorination was a thing that was meant to keep the water cleaner for people and to stop the spread of diseases, but I had no idea that it was effective in neutralizing Covid-19 in modern times. The information was easy to follow, and I found it to be in a sort of chronological order which was nice. What Chlorinated water does provides us with great health benefits that some people don’t realize.

Hello, Byron! Amazing article on the topic of water chlorination. I had previously heard of this topic but never fully read all the benefits this water chlorination does. I really enjoyed reading this article and liked how you did not do an article but a different approach with colorful and entertaining pictures in the poster. Great job, and I hope I read more topics such as this one in further articles.

The infographic has very nice graphics that aid in supporting the information. Additionally, I did not know that chlorine had such an impact on reducing the Covid-19 pandemic, so it very fascinating to see how dosage can minimize the effect of viruses and bacteria.

This article easily separates itself from other articles in this database. This infographic provides straightforward information about water chlorination and how the industry of pools affects the environment. This style of informatory display allows readers to easily find and train the main information that the author wants them to know. It is truly interesting to find infographics such as this and learn how such a small measure of product can cause such a big change in bacterial proliferation. This was truly a unique and interesting infographic to read and look at. Great job!

Congrats on being nominated, which you earned. This infographic provides excellent details regarding water chlorination, a process I was not familiar with. Although it could sound a little frightening, it’s important to understand the benefits of this treatment. Your article’s layout is also pretty slick and has a good flow. Your visuals were fantastic, and I found the content to be quite interesting. It’s great to hear that covid may be neutralized with chlorine in less than 30 seconds; I had no clue. I can understand why it would be necessary here in the United States. It is pretty amazing to observe how such a tiny amount of chlorine may prevent or decrease the effects of illnesses.

I had no idea there was chlorine in drinking water, let alone that it was a good thing to prevent the spread of diseases. This infographic helps demonstrate what chlorine is used for and explains the reasons for its uses. Many people may flip out if they discover chlorine water, but this infographic provides information on chlorinated water in multiple areas.

Drinking water is needed to survive. Our bodies are made mostly of water, and it is important to stay and be hydrated all the time. We drink, because it is needed in our life, and it is essential. Without it we wouldn’t be alive; but it is also important for water to be safe to drink and consume. If water is not cleaned it could cause diseases, pain, and even death. With the process of chlorinating the water it will keep our water safe to consume, it could stop or neutralize serious diseases, and it is beneficial to our well-being. In order to be safe and have the water we need; we need to put serious regulations in order to keep our waters safe and clean. We need to be conscious of our actions and see how it can positively or negatively impact us and the environment. As a person and as a community we need to be aware and conscious in order to keep our water and resources safe, available, and clean.
