Inorganic fertilizers containing phosphates and nitrates released into water bodies give out a lot of nutrition to phytoplankton. It causes eutrophication. Algal growth occurs tremendously. Decomposition of these algae makes the aerobic decomposers highly active which in turn causes depletion of dissolved oxygen in water bodies. Lack of dissolved oxygen in water leads to death of aquatic animals, especially fishes, due to suffocation.
Lead compounds are added to petrol to reduce knocking, i.e., rapid combustion. Burning of this petrol leads to formation of lead halides (bromides and chlorides) which are emitted into air with exhaust.
