Water and Air Pollution
All biologists are faced with the effects of pollution. Both water and air pollution affect our wildlife species, especially our aquatic organisms. Below are a few links that offer information about how pollution affects our environment. I have investigated several fish kills that were the result of environmental pollution, so I found the fish kill investigation links especially interesting
