Workers dump hydrogen peroxide into reflecting pool to fight algae

The National Park Service is using hydrogen peroxide to tackle algae in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, a move that follows a $13.1 million renovation under the Trump administration. This algae-fighting method is a response to persistent issues with the pool's cleanliness, raising questions about the balance between ecological impact and maintaining historical landmarks. The use of hydrogen peroxide highlights ongoing efforts to preserve the iconic site without compromising environmental standards.
