This image is striking precisely because of how lush green and orderly it looks. This is a great example for the argument the author wants to make about the way in which visual gaze might obscure the hidden forms of toxicity, literally under the surface and often at other scales such as the cellular or microbial. I think the pairing of the lush green image along with the caption does a good job as a whole, in bringing out the forms of toxicity in this story.
