Kya aapne kabhi socha hai ki aap jo saans le rahe ho, usme se aadhi oxygen aapke paas ped-paudhon se nahi, balki samandar se aa rahi hai?
Sach mein! Vaigyanikon ke anusar, pṛthvi par jo bhi oxygen hai, uski lagbhag 50% tak samandar ke phytoplankton banate hain. Yeh chhote-chhote microscopic plants samandar ke andar rehte hain.

Yeh itne chhote hote hain ki aap unhe aankh se nahi dekh sakte, lekin poore pṛthvi ke sabse bade jungle se bhi zyada oxygen produce karte hain.
Kaise Banti Hai Yeh Oxygen?
Samandar ke upar sunlight padti hai to yeh phytoplankton photosynthesis karte hain. Is process mein woh carbon dioxide lete hain aur oxygen release karte hain. Har saal yeh chhote jeev hazaron crore ton oxygen banate hain.
Kyun Hai Yeh Important?
Agar samandar mein yeh phytoplankton na ho to hamari hawa mein oxygen ka level itna kam ho jayega ki zinda rehna mushkil ho jayega. Matlab samandar hi asli lung hai hamari pṛthvi ka – Amazon rainforest se bhi bada!
Lekin afsos ki baat yeh hai ki pollution aur climate change ki wajah se phytoplankton ki sankhya tezi se kam ho rahi hai. Agar yeh trend chalta raha to future mein saans lene mein bhi dikkat aa sakti hai.
Ek chhoti si baat: Agli baar jab aap samandar ke kinare khade ho, to usneele samandar ko thanks bolna mat bhoolna – kyunki woh har second aapki zindagi bacha raha hai.
