OXYGEN DEPLETION POLLUTION o Microorganisms that thrive in water feed on biodegradable substances. o When there is an influx of biodegradable material from such things as waste or erosion from farming, the numbers of these microorganisms increase and utilize the obtainable oxygen.

OXYGEN DEPLETION POLLUTION When these oxygen levels are depleted, harmless aerobic microorganisms die and anaerobic microorganisms thrive. Some of these organisms produce damaging toxins like sulfide and ammonia.
