1.	Human beings consume a lot of medicines like anti-biotics to cure sickness. How do you think does it affect the lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere?
Answer» More than 10,000 tonnes of anti biotics are consumed in Europe each year. 30%-60% of them passthrough animals and humans unchanged and reach the ocean. These antibiotics can affect the marine ecosystems over a long period, with detrimental effects on natural marine communities of bacteria. The presence of antibiotics in the marine environment is worrying as it can reach to humans through the consumption of sea food and fish. The marine sediments affected by the antibiotics metabolise both nitrogen and carbon which are linked to both eutrophication and climate problems.
