water pollution kills aquatic life. aquatic life includes algae and other plant life that use photosynthesis. photosynthesis takes   c02 out of the air.  

c02is a greenhouse gas.

- "the choice that is not an indicator of a chemical change is "state of matter changes". more common than not, chemical reactions produce energy in the form of light or heat. along with energy, they also produce a new substance called the product that could be in any state of matter (solid, gas, or liquid)."
