Does chlorine kill fish?
Yes, chlorine is harmful to fish and can kill them if they are exposed to high levels of it in their water. It is important to always use a dechlorinator when setting up a new aquarium or performing water changes to make the water safe for fish.
When excess fertilizer drains into a lake what may occur harming fish populations?
eutrophicationeutrophicationFertilizer in a lake helps algae grow. Up to a certain point, that is good. The algae turns carbon dioxide into oxygen and adds oxygen to the water. However, after that point, the algae covers the lake. Oxygen from the air can not get to deeper water. Dead algae falls to the bottom of the lake and decomposes. The process of decomposing uses up oxygen. The amount of oxygen in the lake drops below the point where fish can survive. Thus, over fertilization leads to a fish kill.
Can nitrogen kill us?
Yes and no. Every living organism needs a small amount of nitrogen to survive. Nitrogen helps make up DNA. Every time we breathe in, we are taking nitrogen in the air into our bodies, but our bodies can't use the nitrogen in this form, so it doesn't harm us in this way and we just exhale it right back out. We can only get nitrogen in small amounts through the foods we eat. Nitrogen in this shape and form is not harmful to us. However, nitrogen is the main reason for the holes in the ozone layer. Fertilizers and the burning of fossil fuels, for example, changes nitrogen into a harmful pollutant.
Is liquid nitrogen poisonous?
Liquid nitrogen is not poisonous, however, it can be dangerous if it comes into contact with skin or if it is inhaled because of its extremely low temperatures. It can cause severe burns or frostbite upon contact with skin and can displace oxygen in the air if inhaled in high concentrations.
Liquid Nitrogen kill warts?
While liquid nitrogen theoretically could be used as a wart remover, this is not done in practice due to the difficulty of maintaining nitrogen in the liquid state. Commercial wart remover products contain dimethyl ether and propane. These liquified compounds (which are gaseous at room temperature and pressure) boil upon releasing the pressure in the container, thereby causing a dramatic cooling effect. Because liquid nitrogen is so cold and can cause severe frost bite, it is used only by physicians to kill warts.
Describe how excess nitrogen from agriculture can kill fish?
Excess nitrogen from agriculture means using the inorganic feritilizers. These fertilizers deposit the nitrogen into the soil and overtime the soil decomposes the nitrogen, converting it into gaseous nitrogen which is then returned to the air. This eventually creates a big acid cloud which will give birth to acid rain. Acid rain will fall in the waters containing fish and then kill them.
What does excess algae actually do to the fish in an aquarium?
It can kill them if you don't have a cleaner fish.
Does sugar kill nitrogen?
Nothing can kill nitrogen as nitrogen is not alive. There is no reaction between sugar and nitrogen.
What is a major component in acid rain?
SulphuR dioxide or nitrogen dioxide...this can kill fish by making lakes acidic!
What are the effects of too much nitrogen in a body of water?
Nitrogen has no effect on water although it can be dissolved. Nitrogen is not hazardous in itself, and in water is not dangerous. However as your body has no use for it when breathed, it can asphyxiate. But in water it has no effect on large biological organisms. High nitrogen content can cause algal blooms in surface areas of water. However, nitrogen can be processed into nitrates by bacteria which can kill fish. Excess nitrogen is removed by humans through urea.
Can ammonia cleaning solutions kill fish?
Ammonia is harmful to fish. Its is a by product of the nitrogen cycle, which is what keeps the water stable in your tank(i wont delve into that) but yes ammonia can burn fish, especially those who lack scale's.
How did the fish kill get its name?
its obviously fish kill means dead fish ..
How did fish kill get its name?
Fish kill means fish creek simply means die-off of the fish
Can nitrogen in chicken liter kill fish if rain runoff goes to pond?
The nitrogen in chicken manure is usually present as ammonia which is both toxic and changes the pH of any receiving water. Both these effects can kill fish. On the longer term the decomposition of organics can remove oxygen from the water. Even more damage can be cause by the eutrophication of the water which causes algal blooms and subsequent oxygen depletion.
Can water pumps kill fish?
no a water pump can not kill a fish
Can you feed a fighting fish a fish?
well not exactly if you want to kill your other fish then........sure! why not? if love your fish, why kill it?
How do you boil a half-filled jar containing water and not kill a live fish in it?
