waste.2 We also need to say that not all the oil spills are the same, they can vary in the type,
location, and wildlife species, time breeding cycles and even weather can affect the type with the
change of state. We said that it can pollute the water wildlife, and so it also can pollute the animals
which live on the earth and flying beings. As the crude oil is used to produce various products and
also in vehicles which have a dangerous exhaust. The exhaust which car produces destroys the ozone
layer they also infect and kill the animals which spend their time in the air mostly. The same way as
it pollutes the ozone layer it also makes hazardous areas for the flying animals which later on breed
in the polluted gasses and it destroys their inner organs. The exhaust gasses mix with the oxygen and
other gasses which are in the air and are so transmitted not only to flying beings but also to animals
which are unable to fly. They instead of living in the area which is polluted (air) they breed in the
gasses and also hunt animals which fly and then eat them, that is also one way of transition. To be
more precise oil in the environment interferes with the breeding process and so destroys breeding
abilities and newborns. They damage the airways of all mammals and inner organs which are
responsible for breading. The second most important organ which is exposed to the polluted
environment are the eyes and so can oil infect the eyes of animals and prevent their visual abilities.
They also damage the following: skin, mouth, immune system, blood cells, livers, adrenal tissue, egg
shells and nasal cavities. With these damages presented animal behavior could change and they can
become more aggressive and stressful, which can cause attacks and other inappropriate behavior.
Through this essay which writes about the bad sides of crude oil, we can conclude that
besides the crude oils good sides we need to watch also the bad sides, the hazardous behavior which
happens after a human error. A lot of happenings can cause the pollution of water, but the most
destructive one are oil spills from big tankers which sink underwater, and release oil in the seas.
After explaining all this we can also see that not only the seas are the biggest victims of oil spills, but
so are the ground areas and animals on them. Because of the big usage of oil we cannot stop
consuming it, but we can get more careful and advanced to prevent those kinds of pollution to
happen. The cars should be more eco-friendly (and these cars are already in production and are
being released). Besides the vehicles which cause air pollution and ground based animal distinction,
human error is inevitable but in certain ways it could be more advanced and prepared in order not
to make mistakes. If we take care more about the environment the environment will take care
about us.
