Conclusions

• Provide better management of wastewater to avoid the problems mentioned above.

• Pollution has affected an important aspect that is the environment. This phenomenon is the product of chemical contamination.
• The need to seek alternatives that lead to environmental sustainability or mitigate said contamination is being generated.
