Students are evaluating claims about human impact on a river after a factory installed a filter system in 2022. They have one shared set of observations from the same sampling site. Claims (some may be unsupported or overstated):
  • Claim 1: The filter system reduced the amount of dissolved copper in the river.
  • Claim 2: The filter system made the river water safe for all uses.
  • Claim 3: Because copper went down, the filter system must have reduced all types of pollution.
Evidence (dissolved copper, μμg/L):
  • 2021: 19
  • 2022: 11
  • 2023: 10
Which claim is not supported by the evidence?
