It reduces the supply of Oxygen gas.
- Aquatic organisms are creatures that live in water and consume dissolved oxygen, which itself is necessary for their survival.
- Oil spills are oil deposits on the water's surface or on the ocean's top surface. The influence of crude oil extraction and industrial effluents is mostly responsible for this.
- Oil spills cover the upper surface of the water, blocking sunlight from seeping into the water.
- The proportion of fresh and dissolved oxygen in the water is also lowered.
- This has a negative impact on aquatic life since there is insufficient oxygen for their breathing and existence.
- As a result, oil spills in water should be avoided since they are dangerous and poisonous to aquatic life.
