I think its because animals can be used to indicate pollution because different animals survive with different levels of oxygen. E.G a sludgeworm or a bloodworm needs little oxygen to suvive so they are indicators of polluted water. Freshwater shrimp and stonfly indicate clean water because they need lots of oxygen to survive. Plants don't use oxygen to survive, they take in carbon dioxide instead.
They are used as indicators as the presence of nutrients, phytotoics, temperature, light. pH and many others impact the growth, reproduction and types of plants present in an ecosystem.
Lichen are a good pollution indicator because they get their water and minerals from rainwater and the atmosphere. This makest lichen extremely sensitive to the atmosphere. As a result very few lichen grow in or near large cities with heavy pollution.
What are the names of plants that can be used as indicator of acid and alkali
An indicator is something, rather it be a person, animal, or plant, that determines how much pollution is in the area. Birds are a good indicator of air pollution.
growing plants and control the pollution
Tertiary pollution occurs from damaging emissions being released into the atmosphere. This type of pollution can effect water supplies so tertiary water treatments are often used.
If fossil fuels are used to power plants, this can kill trees. The pollution that comes from the plants can cause plants to die.
Water pollution is a serious problem for the entire world. It threatens the health and well being of humans, plants, and animals. As the world became more industrial and smaller due to communications and trade, accidental and purposive hazardous dumping have contributed to the problem of sea pollution. All water pollution is dangerous to the health of living organisms, but sea and river pollution can be especially detrimental to the health of humans and animals. Rivers and seas are used as primary sources of potable water by populations all over the world. Another serious consequence of this pollution is the effect of this pollution on trade in the polluted areas. This paper examines cases which reflect different causes of sea and river pollution, the seriousness of this pollution, the effect of this pollution on trade, and a possible global solution to this problem.
The water source being used as a sewer dump
Water pollution can be caused if chemicals are used to separate metals from the earth.
Some do and some do not. Lichens are often used as pollution indicators because as pollution increases, more species die until there are only one or two species left.
yes some really gave the raw material for indicating chemical presence.
yes it will be good for the plants
