Some people on social media claim to have seen dead ducks in the pool.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The massive algae bloom is only one of the problems engulfing the renovated Reflecting Pool that Trump blew $14 million on and repeatedly gushed over. His \u201cAmerican flag blue\u201d paint and\/or the pool sealant is also peeling off the bottom of the pool and floating to the surface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>As for the algae-fighting hydrogen peroxide, it\u2019s definitely not safe to guzzle. But some experts are convinced that if it\u2019s diluted enough it is unlikely to seriously affect the ducks or other birds in the pool. <\/p>\n<p>A 3 percent concentration is generally considered safe. Containers of hydrogen peroxide being poured into the Reflecting Pool were marked as a \u201c12 percent\u201d solution, Common Dreams reported. A 12 percent solution is strong enough to \u201ccause problems if inhaled and burns if the chemical touches the skin,\u201d according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which has detailed warnings and suggestions for \u201cmedical management\u201d of the chemical.<\/p>\n<p>Hydrogen peroxide is \u201cnot absorbed by the skin, but can cause systemic toxicity when inhaled or ingested,\u201d notes the CDC. It\u2019s also a \u201cpowerful\u201d oxidizing agent; when it comes in contact with organic material, spontaneous combustion can occur,&#8221; the agency warns.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1836\">Felon Trump Pal Behind Green Slime Fiasco Exposed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not known how much of the bleaching chemical is being dumped into the Reflecting Pool that many ducks use as a pond. In addition, at this time of year several tiny ducklings are trailing their moms in the water. Their size could make them more vulnerable to toxins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHydrogen peroxide is generally considered less environmentally destructive as its compounds readily break down in water,\u201d The New Republic noted this week. \u201cBut the high concentration could nonetheless pose a risk to some of the pool\u2019s frequent visitors, such as ducks or other birds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It could also be a colossal waste of time. Washington, D.C.-based pediatrician Michael O\u2019Brien noted on X that dumping hydrogen peroxide into the pool will not fix the algae problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cY\u2019all, not to be a huge nerd but for the reflecting pool you would need a minimum of about 8,000 liters of 12% hydrogen peroxide to reach the 50 parts per million concentration to kill algae,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1834\">Trump, 80, Had to Google Man He Forgot Was on \u2018Enemies List\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cIs this what happens when you have 0 scientists in your administration?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As National Park Service workers poured gallons of hydrogen peroxide into Donald Trump\u2019s newly overhauled Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, observers worried about the families of nonvoters that actually use the water: ducks and their ducklings.
