The coutries which do not have oil reservatirs in their land import oil from other countries. But sometimes during transporting oil through sea routes, accidental oil spilling occurs. This oil spilled in the ocean may prove fatal and toxic to aquatic animals. Therefore, removel of this spilled oil is essential for protection of aquatic life. For removing this oil layer, certain microbes like Pseudomonas spp. and Alcanivarax borkumensis are used. These microbes have the ability to destroy the pyridines and other toxic chemicals. The hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (HCB) are able to decompose the hydrocarbons and bring about the reaction carbon with oxygen resulting in formation of CO_(2) and water. Like oil spills cause damage to aquatic life, platic forms the major part of the grabage on land. Plastics are difficult to degrade as they are made up of PET. By research, various species like Vibrio and Idenoella sakaiensis which can degred PET.By research, various species like Vibrio and Ideonella sakaiensis which can degrade PET have been identified. There are cartain species of microbes which can decompose rubber from garbage. Based on the given paragraph answer the following question. How are aquatic organisms affected by oil spills in oceans ?

Paragraph based question: Read the following paragraph and answer the question based on it. Many waste materials are generated through the various daily human activities. This is called solid waste. If these waste materials are properly disposed of, they can be valuable source of energy. Currently, solid waste is a serious world wide problem as it causes both water and soil pollution. Solid waste is also serious problem from the point of view of economic growth, environment degradation and health. It has posed a serious threat to nature and human habitat because of the air, water and soil pollution it causes. Solid waste generated in the main metro cities of the state is approximately as follows-Mumbai: 500 tons, Pune: 1700 tons, Nagpur : 900 tons. Who creates solid wastes and how is it created?
