The term animals can be applied to a number of life forms from krill to Blue Whales. Specific animal related death rates are occasionally developed for rare, endangered or "cute" critters, usually after an oil spill. The general animal deaths number has never been calculated.
To calculate the number it would be necessary to determine:
* Number of animals of the species alive at any given time. * Total mortality rate from all causes. * Percentage attributable to pollution. This is far more than a life's work. Additionally, the data would be changing as fast as you could collect it. And this is precisely the problem with assessment of the pollution of our oceans. Pollution is massive (consider the North Pacific Gyre), and there isn't a good way to "get a handle on it" in an attempt to affect changes. The problem is just "out there" and bringing it home takes massive effort.

How much pollution from cars each day?
the answer is about 5000000000000 pollution is made from cars each day mainly fat ones :-)
How many animals die of water pollution every year?
Nobody keeps track of worldwide animal deaths each year. So lets do some estimating. For humans estimates range as high as 40% of the worlds deaths are attributable to non specific forms of pollution. The problem of arriving at a figure is to determine if pollution is directly, indirectly or marginally related to any specific death. Based on this rate, here is an estimate of the incidence of death among people now living in the world with the equivalent pollution related rates is 56.0 million deaths per year (from all causes) with 14 million/yr from some pollution related causes. There are more animals from people and so there is a larger number of animal deaths. animals have to eat the oil and they die from a horrible death so that is why we have to get rid of garbage island

It is important because than we know how much pressure is there.
What are some sources of pollution where you liveand how does pollution affect humans animals and plants?
Some of the sources of pollution where I live include industrial effluents into rivers, noise pollution from industries, and air pollution from paper manufacturing companies, and each negatively affect humans, animals, and plants.
How many animals in the ocean get killed by humans each year?
It's very difficult to estimate the number of marine animals killed by humans each year, because the individuals aren't counted: the catch is measured in tons. Most estimates are that between 1 trillion and 2.8 trillion marine animals are killed by humans each year.
Water pollution questions answer for kids of 4 grade?
1. Why water pollution is a problem? Because, water pollution kills. It kills the fish and all living beings that lives in the water. If all the water life is dead so will much of humans food source will die too. 2. How Many People Pollute Each Year? Millions of people pollute each year. 3.
