Mapua - The good, the bad, and the ugly
Chemical Chaos
What's the great thing about Mapua? Well everything really - sparkling waters, lovely beaches, divine and yummy cafes, amazing shops, friendly people, lots of activities for people to do like swimming, mountain biking, BMX-ing, shopping and boating. It also has a friendly community with lots of buildings and shops.
So what is all the fuss about the Mapua Chemical site? Why is the area fenced off? Why does it look so ugly? What are they doing there? These are some of the questions we wanted to know the answers to, so Room 6 went to find out more about the Mapua clean up and are researchers about it.
