1. To make the situation worse, even more and more usable water resources are being polluted, causing the rise in the cost of utilizing them as well as more threats to public health.
2. To make the situation worse, even more and more usable water resources are being polluted, causing the rise in the cost of utilizing them as well as threatening public health.
Are these two sentences grammatically correct?
I initially wrote the second sentence but rephrased the last part to make it look like the first one because I thought it kind of sounded better.
But what I am more curious about is if I decided to go with the second sentence, would it be OK to use it as it is or would it better to change it like below:
3. To make the situation worse, even more and more usable water resources are being polluted, raising the cost of utilizing them as well as threatening public health.
How does the 3rd one look compared to the 2nd one? Is it grammatically correct and safe to use?
The usage of present participles are very confusing to me.
Thanks for your help.
