Pollution of rivers, lakes and seas is a major concern for people who seek to protect the environment. What are the possible causes of water pollution? And what effects does this have on animal life and human society?

The accumulation of pollutants in bodies of

water

has been troublesome for nature protectors. The paragraphs below will outline why the fishing industry and the air pollution are involved and directly influence the contamination of seas and rivers, and explain why it can cause a decrease in food production as well as an increase in cases of contagious diseases. There are several motives to justify why the Earth's

water

is polluted. One of which is the growth of industrial fishing. The aquatic environment is resilient and able to take part of the trash thrown on it and recycle it somehow,

however

, commercial fishing has destroyed its components, which encompasses algae, fish, and microorganisms, and limited their ability to diminish the damage. Another justification is the toxic gases thrown into the atmosphere. In the

water

cycle, when the moisture content in the air condenses, it returns to its fluid form and falls from the clouds back to the ground.

Although

, in

this

path, it dilutes and carries part of these scattered gases, polluting lakes.

Furthermore

, the effects of the maintenance of the pollution would be devastating to both humans and animals. To start with, it would impact society directly in the production of food of animal origin. Whether it is swine, bovine or poultry, the

water

used in the creation and in all slaughter stages has to be clean, to avoid,

thus

, carcass condemnation and loss in profits.

Additionally

, it would increase the rate of animals' infectious diseases in communities, as the role of

this

fluid in the dissemination of viruses, bacteria and fungus is well documented by researchers.

For instance

, it is possible to get leptospirosis by taking a bath in a contaminated river. To conclude, the increased demand for fishing and the air pollution influence the accumulation of pollutants in seas, rivers and lakes all over the world, which,

consequently

, can lead to difficulties in the production of food and assist in the dissemination of disease-causing agents.
