How is air pollution affecting the life on plants and animals?

Answer 1

Answer: The components of air pollution which affect aquatic life and their effects are: Carbon Dioxide

Once carbon dioxide has dissolved in sea water it impacts aquatic lie in two ways.

The first is to increase the growth of algae. The increased alga population eventually dies off creating algae "blooms" (large clumps of dead algae) which are unsightly and odorous. As they rot they reduce dissolved oxygen levels in the water which kills fish. As the blooms sink they cover the sea bottom impacting fish breeding areas and creating anoxic areas. There is a third algae bloom problem, the blooms carry trace metals (eg iron) out of the upper reaches of the sea where it is required for plant life

Secondly the dissolved carbon dioxide decreases he pH of the sea water making it acidic. The acidic water dissolves coral and the shells of mollusks. NOx and SOx These are the components of air pollution causing acid rain. In water they can decrease the pH creating problems similar to those noted for the acidic impacts of carbon dioxide,. However, the pH can become very low and create other problems for the health of aquatic organisms and their breeding success. In addition the acidic water can dissolve heavy metals from rocks and silt which are toxic in their own right. Particulate matter

Many industrial operations emit particulate matter into the air which an land in water directly or be washed down by rain or snow. These particulates can contain toxic components like metals and organic compounds (PAHs) which can impact fish and other organisms as well as the suitability of the water as a potable water source

Answer 2

due to water pollution many aquatic organisms die as they are unable to survive in water due to harmful effects of water pollution. moreover,airpollution land pollution unable organisms to live in land.

Answer 3

Water is 2 parts oxygen, but not every gas that seeps into water is oxygen. Fish and other underwater animals use their gills to get the oxygen-mixture out of the water so, if the air was polluted, then the fish would get poisoned and all other kinds of pleasant things.

Answer 4

It affects aquatic life by killing the aquatic animals because we litter and spill oil and other chemicals. So the animals in the water get sick and then die

Answer 5

Air pollution causes acid to accumulate in rivers and lakes.
