Your purchase at SaveTheWorldShop.com supports the study of chemicals and pollutants and their effect on the envirornment.

Ecology refers to the study of the relations that living organisms have with each other and their natural environment. While many natural forces like drought, fire, flood etc can affect it, an ecosystem will usually continue to function in a recognizable way. However, toxic pollutants and other non-natural phenomena can overwhelm the natural stability of an ecosystem and result in irreversible changes and serious losses.

Chemicals released into the environment may have a variety of adverse ecological effects. Ranging from fish and wildlife kills to forest decline, ecological effects can be long-term or short-lived. These potential effects are an important reason for regulation of pesticides, toxic substances, and other sources of pollution.

Pollutants may adversely affect communities by disrupting their normal structure and delicate interdependencies. The structure of a community includes its physical system, usually created by the plant life and geological processes. When pollutants enter an ecosystem they have several effects on that ecosystem. There are detrimental effects on some groups and species depending on the type, duration, and intensity of the pollutant.
