Golf Tees VS Contamination

CONCLUSIONS• The study of the composition of the chemical elements present in a paintedgolf tee as well as the development of these and their manipulation at theindustrial level, suggests that the painted golf tees, are polluting water andaggressive elements against the environment, flora and fauna.• Toxic discharges which are incorporated in food chain such as lead, mercuryand cadmium are the most dangerous. They will contaminate marine speciesthat later will be ingested by humans.• The bad habit of holding the golf tees in the mouth causes an intake of extraheavy metals which may be harmful to the golf player.• It is noted also that the felling of trees contributes to destabilize the balance ofgases in the atmosphere increasing the greenhouse effect.
