Lead can also cause coma, convulsions and even death in children especially when it accumulates in the brain. On the contrary, arsenic poisoning causes vomiting, diarrhea, skin pigmentation and skin lesions. Given such high stakes, it is important that Z CORP invests more in water treatment.

Poisoning has to do with the ingestion of or contact with a substance that causes bodily harm. Z CORP is greatly poisoning Gilbane's populace. Heavy metal wastes being discharged into farming water will eventually build up in the soil and the produce. The same produce is consumed by people and animals. Heavy metals such as lead and arsenic will, in the long run, render Gilbane an ailing city. The spiral effect of heavy metal wastes is fatal. Mortality rates in Gilbane will, therefore, depict a rising trend over time.
