The balloon will eventually deflate, leaving plastic pollution wherever it lands. This can often cause harm to animals, including fish and birds.

Plastic helium balloons are in the same category as plastic bags the tuber ones degrade fairly quickly out in the wild except for the plastic clips that hold them shut.

What size helium tank will it take to fill 113 cf balloon?

a big one I know you are perhaps wanting to have fun with these helium balloons, but there is a problem - many escape into the air and eventually bust over the sea where they come down and get mistaken for food by marine animals. Marine animals can not eat rubber and this kills them. Therefore, if at all possible would you please consider using air in your balloons rather than helium.


Is helium the noble gas that is commercially used the most?

Why are sea creatures killed?

The first reason sea creatures are killed off is the same reason land creatures are killed off; if they were not killed off, the world would be overrun with them. Food is another reason sea creatures are killed. Life is largely about eating and not getting eaten. Most creatures are killed as a food source. Pollution is another reason sea creatures are killed.

If air is blown into a balloon then it will be full of air.If you want the balloon to float up then the gas you fill it with is not air but helium.[However please note that if a helium balloon escapes, it may burst and fall back to earth over the sea where it can harm sea creatures (especially turtles) who try to eat them - so please do not purchase helium balloons]

Is helium good for the environment?

Firstly, helium is NON- TOXIC. Helium is useful to mankind as it is used in cryogenics, deep-sea breathing systems, blowing up balloons, providing the lightweight in airships etc. Breathing in a small amount of helium will temporarily increase the pitch of your voice (no harm), however, excessive inhaling of helium is dangerous as it may cause death by asphyxiation within minutes!

All the under water sea creatures?

If you mean, "are all under water creatures, sea creatures?" then no. The term SEA is for the ocean and there also can be creatures in freshwater. Also some creatures that live in water such as some snakes and sea turtles come out of the water every so often, so they are no total sea/water creatures. Fish are underwater creatures though.
