How does it affect…Nature and

AnimalsHumans Water

From plants to trees, fish and marine plants. Oil pollution hurts them all. Fish... It stops them from getting oxygen and they soak it up + sunlight is blocked for the coral! Trees and plants need water to water to absorb and drink and when they do, it makes them sick & unhealthy.

You turn on the tap to get a drink. There’s dirty water coming. If you drink it, you might get sick. Later you go to the beach. There’s broken glass and if you go in it you might get a cut. That’s what happens when we have no more clean left. Let’s hope that won’t ever happen. You can help too!*

Oil doesn’t mix with water so it leaves a big black puddle floating on the water. Luckily, there is a way this can go away. After a few weeks, the oil starts to rot away. It can also evaporate into air.

But , how is it

dangerous?

Oil pollution is dangerous by the diseases that it can cause. You can get skin disease, lung diseases, and just plain colds and fevers.
