Biodegradable wastes can have both positive and negative effects on aquatic life. On one hand, they can provide a food source for microorganisms and some aquatic organisms, promoting growth and biodiversity. However, excessive accumulation can lead to eutrophication, which depletes oxygen levels in the water and creates dead zones, negatively impacting fish and other aquatic species. Additionally, the decomposition process can release harmful substances, further stressing aquatic ecosystems.
What else can I help you with?
Is sodium polyacrylate biodegradable and environmentally friendly?
Sodium polyacrylate is not biodegradable and may not be environmentally friendly due to its potential to harm aquatic life if released into the environment.
Disadvantages of non- biodegrada ble waste?
Biodegradable products degrade to the point where organisms can digest them. This reduces problems with litter and reduces harmful effects on wildlife. Using biodegradable cleaning products helps fish and aquatic life live in our rivers by protecting our water system from pollution. It is possible to save vast amounts of water! All the advantages of biodegradable products (which you can find out by asking 'Google') are the disadvantages of non-biodegradable products
Why does oxygen level in water decrease as a result of dumping biodegradable wastes in a river?
Dumping biodegradable wastes in a river leads to an increase in organic matter that microorganisms break down, using up oxygen in the process through respiration. This results in a decrease in oxygen levels through a process called biological oxygen demand (BOD). Lower oxygen levels can harm aquatic life by reducing their ability to breathe and survive in the water.
Is hazardous waste similar to non biodegradable waste?
Non biodegradable wastes and recyclable wastes are the same however recyclable wastes are those which can be reused. For example..bottles.. these are non biodegrable wastes at the same time recyclable because bottles can also be reused as containers for clips and/or pens with creativity perhaps.
What are the effects of depletion of ozone on aquatic life?
the polar ice caps melt and raise the sea level
What are the effects of April 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico?
It affected plant life as well as aquatic/marine life. Sad right?
Factory waste is neutralised before disposing it into the water bodies?
factory wastes are neutralized before disposing into water bodies because, factory wastes often contain acid. if it reaches a river, the acid will kill aquatic life. this is prevented by adding a base called slaked lime.
What are the effects of hot water on aquatic life?
It is because the warm water has low amount of dissolved oxygen and organism can survive without oxygen.
What are the harmful effects of kerosene on aquatic plants?
Kerosene can have detrimental effects on aquatic plants by disrupting photosynthesis and respiration processes. Its toxic compounds can lead to reduced growth, leaf chlorosis, and even plant death. Additionally, kerosene can alter water quality by decreasing oxygen levels and introducing harmful pollutants, which can further harm aquatic ecosystems. Overall, the presence of kerosene can significantly disrupt the health and viability of aquatic plant life.
What are the disadvantages of detergent?
it can destroy the environment.1) Detergents are not biodegradable because they have highly branched hydrocarbon chain which is not biodegradable.
Why is Life Aquatic?
life is not all aquatic some lives are terrestrial and others are aquatic terrestrial- lives or grows on land aquatic- lives or grows in water
