Why is Hypoxia a problem?Why is Hypoxia a problem?
Seriousness of low Dissolved Oxygen is best expressed by motto of American Lung Association:
““When You Can’t Breathe, When You Can’t Breathe, Nothing Else Matters.”Nothing Else Matters.”

Spread of HypoxiaSpread of HypoxiaIn the 1960s the number of systems with reports of
hypoxia-related problems started to increase.

Spread of HypoxiaSpread of HypoxiaBy the 1980s there was an explosive increase in the number of
hypoxic systems.

Spread of HypoxiaSpread of HypoxiaBy the 1990s and 2000s most estuarine and marine systems in
close proximity to population centers had reports of hypoxia/anoxia.
