Wastewater is treated with chlorine to kill bacteria. however, chlorine can be toxic to certain fish that live in the ocean. why does this most likely add to the cost of cleaning water?

Water must have the chlorine removed before it can be dumped into the ocean .

Water muct have the chlorine removed before it can be dumped in the ocean-apx.

Explanation:

Chlorine is added to filtered wastewater, to treat and remove bacteria and disease-causing organisms that could harm living organisms. But the chlorine itself must be removed before the water can be recycled back into oceans, or it will harm aquatic life.

humans are now responsible for causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and plant species. we take up more space on earth for our homes and cities. we pollute habitats. human activity often changes or destroys the habitats that plants and animals need to survive.

volcanoes (an event in the geosphere) release a large amount of particulate matter into the atmosphere. these particles serve as nuclei for the formation of water droplets (hydrosphere). rainfall (hydrosphere) often increases following an eruption, stimulating plant growth (biosphere).
