Breeding. To breed your own superworms, start with a colony of about 100 worms. Superworms can take a long time to pupate, but you can hurry the process along. Purchase small containers such as film canisters or small drawers from hardware containers, and punch a small hole in it. Put some substrate in the container, and put the container in a warm, dark place for about 10 days.
Humans are not the only living creatures affected by toxic air pollutants. Some toxins, like mercury, settle onto plants and into water sources that are then consumed by animals. The health effects of these poisons are then magnified up the food chain.
Air pollution can affect wildlife indirectly by changing plant communities. Atmospheric ozone can stunt growth in various plant species and these changes affect the quality of habitat and food sources of many animals. How Does Air Pollution Affect Animals? Pets Studies show that household pets suffer an increased risk of tumors when exposed to polluted air over an extended period of time. Particulate matter in the air has been linked to cardiac arrest in dogs and veterinarians sometimes attribute pet deaths to the effects of air pollution. Rebecca Watts Hull
