Oxygen is declining rapidly from Earth, scientists have pointed out in a recent study. Although there is nothing to panic about now, this is terrible news for the future world. Because some days can be spent without water, it is possible to live for a few days without food, but without oxygen, animal civilization will be destroyed immediately.
A group of scientists at Princeton University in New Jersey, USA, have come to the conclusion that oxygen is reduced by conducting a study. Scientists observe that in the last 1 million years, 1.5 percent of the oxygen has disappeared from the Earth's atmosphere. The amount of which is not too much, but scientists are thinking more and more that this is the maximum in the last one hundred years. 1.5 percent. That is the highest rate of oxygen depletion in the last 5 years.
Scientists do not give a specific reason for this, but scientists believe that in the last 5 years, a large amount of fossil fuel has been used in the world. As a result, carbon dioxide has become very high. And this may be one of the major reasons for the decline in oxygen.
Scientists collect bubbles from the ice that has been frozen in Greenland and Antarctica for thousands of years. Later they collected and tested the oxygen within it. However, they were only interested in the experiment, scientists said. They would later conclude that the level of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere is much lower than it was millions of years ago. At present, oxygen levels are around 20 percent. Scientists observe more, low oxygen levels do not mean that the amount of carbon dioxide has increased in the atmosphere.
Scientists have come up with one more reason as to why oxygen is reduced. It is a long-term natural process of exposure to seawater.
A scientific team member said. Higgins said that as global warming warms the seawater, it will be able to absorb more oxygen. On the contrary, the colder the water, the more it will be able to absorb the gas.
He added that if the history of oxygen is seen in the earth, then it can be seen that the matter is intimately associated with complex living. Scientists point out that the complex life-cycle process may be involved in the reduction of oxygen, although in part.
