| My name is Rohan Gupta and I am a grade 11 student at Oak Bay Secondary. My inspiration for my project came from my passion for environmental sciences as I have been working immensely with my surrounding ecosystems including Bowker Creek. Presently, I am the Co-Leader of the Environmental Club, in which I actively lead in environmental activities such as Bowker Creek cleanups, invasive species pulling, and restoration projects. Therefore, doing this project I was able to further work with the effects of pollutants in stormwater on the environment, as it is not currently treated in the City of Victoria. Moreover, in the future I would like to isolate certain heavy metal ions present in the stormwater and test their effects on surrounding ecosystems. The advice I would give other students about doing science fair is that to never give up and to always stay passionate about your project. You will always face adversities while working on a project, however the sooner you can realize that it will be easier for you to overcome them. Overall, besides from science fair I am the founder of the STEM club in my school, and I love volunteering at hospitals, connecting with patients. |

Cytogenotoxic Effects of Local Stormwater on Allium cepa L.
| Défi: | Environnement | | Catégorie: | Sénior | | Région: | Vancouver Island | | Ville: | Victoria, BC | | École: | Oak Bay Secondary | | Sommaire: | My project focuses on the effects of stormwater on onions root growth, and I used onions becaouse they have a conserved genetic structure and their roots get exposed to the pollutants very easily. Currently, many places in Canada do not have a fundemental treatment plan for stormwater, so the poluntants present in the water enter the ocean having a direct effect on marine life. |
