Abstract
A chemist recently discovered an unsuspected highly toxic effluent, issued from the production of a new chemical product that the company dumps into the Mississippi which the actual filtration system completely fails to filter out. Let us find out the main alternatives to cope with the situation. Before finding a definitive solution, there are two options. Stop the production of the chemical product that generates the toxic effluent or keep producing the chemical product that engenders the toxic effluent. Because of the geographical location of the firm, there is a huge risk that some people might die of poisoning. This will lead authorities to open an inquiry and discover that the company is the source of the emission of the poison. As a consequence, the authorities and families of the victims will issue a writ against the firm that will probably be condemned to pay huge compensations and, in the same perspective; the management of the factory will perhaps be convicted. We look into the details and consequences of this action in this document.
