Even with this, it poisons the plants that grow off the water supply. When this happens the animals that need these plants start to die off, and they caan also become extinct to the nearest area.
water pollution is the main reason for the imbalance in the food chain and life cycle of the underwater organisms. polluted water which contains the harmful insecticides or pesticides and other waste chemical water thrown by the factories result in severe damage to the water life. the fishes under the water slowly die out ,some result in defect in laying eggs.this fish when taken by humans can even affect our health. this fish when eaten by the frogs or other water creatures hamper their life too. it gradually puts the food chain in risk ,this eventually affects the other animals too which eat fishes or water creatures like bear , vultures ,etc. this again spreads in the terrestial wildlife and aerial wildllife as well. so eventually the whole environment is affected.

Pollutants are emitted in completely different ways, all pollutants harm living organisms:

  • Air pollution is mainly emitted though the exhaust of motor vehicles, the combustion of fossil fuels, the burning of coal and oil. most of the pollution from coal burning on Earth comes from the production of electricity.
  • Water pollution is the result of industrial waste, environmental accidents and greed for money.

All societies know that pollution is harmful and a serious problem for Earth but generally people are self centered.

Everybody needs to contribute to prevention.

Many small steps can make a big difference!

People every where on Earth should obey laws, laws that protect their families, their neighbors, their friends. Government involvement is key to regulating toxins, building waste systems and protecting air and waters.

Responsible behavior of the individual can make all the changes needed.

Pollution is a really bad thing and we need to realise that the Earth is more fragile than we think.

it effects us cease we breath it, we make it and we created it.
It doesn't affect you at frist but, it slowly affects the enviorment, and the enviorment slowly dies causing disease to go around therefore affecting you.
Pollution affects humans by causing respiratory difficulties. It affects rivers and soil by adding toxins to them.

water that's polluted may cause damage to the environment (maybe that doesn't scare you but our crop Fields are a part of the environment so we pollute ourselves).
the polluted water will find it's way to the sea where it can damage and kill a variety of organisms, and in that way it will tilt the balance of the ecosystem
(for example you dump a toxin in the sea, hereby you potion some sort of sea weed, fish which feed on this weed will be poisoned to, larger fish which feed on these fish will be potionned as well and let's say we eat that fish...will mean we potion ourselves)

Mother nature has a way to deflect back everything you give her, and she also does this with positieve things see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture
