Air can hold a certain amount of water vapour. The amount it can hold depends on the air temperature - the hotter it is, the more water it can hold. A way to think of it is that water Can dissolve in air, just like some gases and solids can dissolve in water.
There are three ways. Some mixtures are gases themselves, and air is the most common one. Some mixtures are partly gases and partly liquids. Also, gases can dissolve into liquids, like oxygen in water.
An amoeba lives in an aqueous environment; some oxygen from the air will normally dissolve into the water (or, oxygen is released by plants living in the water) and oxygen will enter the amoeba by the process of diffusion.
Oxygen oxidizes. CO2 needs water ... making carbonic acid, which will dissolve some rocks. Sulfa also needs water to eventually form sulfuric acid, which will dissolve just about anything.

Because in air the diffusion of gases takes place more quickly than in water.
There are a number of ways in which a gas could dissolve in a liquid. It could bind with the liquid molecules.
The rate of diffusion in liquids slower than that of gases because gases have low density and its float in the air.

The gases in air will, to some degree, dissolve in water. Let's consider one example. We know that fish need oxygen to live, and they get this from the water that passes over their gills. If there was no dissolved oxygen in the water, the fish would die.
Well, as air is found dissolved in water and fish extract the oxygen of the air, then any gas will dissolve in water. Air also contains a small amount of the Noble gases which are therefore present in the air dissolved in it.
Any gas that does not substantially dissolve in or react with water can pass through it. This group includes air (except for its carbon dioxide content), all the noble gases, and all the hydrocarbon gases.
Water or air dirty with gases or chemicals is polluted water or air.
