The lecturer explains that if the wind spread these toxic chemicals to the air , people could breath it and lead to serious health problems.
Second, the listening states that dilute water's lake with water from the ocean could decrease lake's salinity. On the contrary, the professor contradicts this and contends that this approach reqiuire specific pipelines or canals. The lecturer adds thate local government does n ot have resources to pay for it. Moreover, the speaker points out that the distance to the ocean is one hundred kilometer away, so it will be very expensive solution.

Conversely, the professor refutes this and mentions that this solution would not work for long time. The lecturer explains that this area could have intense geologoical activities, such as earthquake. the speaker adds that if the walls would be collapsed by an earthquake, the water in the high salinity section will mix up with the water with low salinity level.
