Title: Clean Water Laws Are Neglected, at a Cost in Suffering

Summary: In Charleston West Virginia, coal companies have been polluting the water with toxic waste that has been affecting the community. Chemical factories, manufacturing plants and other workplaces have violated water pollution laws more than half a million times, in the last five years.

Critique: This article topic is very important, and I feel the information provided could possibly impact my family and our community in the future. Water pollution has no scent or taste, many people who consume the dangerous chemicals do not realize it.
