Air Pollution
Hey, I thought we were doing WATER pollution causes! Well, surprisingly enough, airpollution contributes substantially to water pollution. Pollutants like mercury, sulfur dioxide,nitric oxides, and ammonia deposit out of the air and then cause problems like mercurycontamination in fish andacidification of lakes.Most of the air pollution that affects water comes from coal-fired power plants and thetailpipes of our vehicles, though some also comes from industrial emissions.

A 15-year-long study of the role of man-made CO

in the earth'soceans found that the oceans had absorbed enough CO

to already have caused a slight increasein ocean acidification
