If the trends continue, it is predicted that the native forests of Argentina will be gone by 2024. Lead pollution in the Pampas has risen and 59% of the children have an unsafe amount of lead in their bloodstreams. The harmful effects of lead on the environment are currently unknown.
  10. Current Issues (Cont.) There is a lack of safe drinking water because of the growing population and urbanization. This could lead to health issues for the citizens of Argentina. Buenos Aires has used up its aquifers and relies on the Rio de la Plata for water, but that is very risky since the river is subject to pollution.
  11. The Tango The tango is a very popular dance in Argentina. People dance the tango on the streets of Buenos Aires. The tango originated in the Buenos Aires and Rio de la Plata area. Today there are international tango competitions.The tango has spread around the whole world and is a very popular dance.
