In
carbonated water in Spain, using a plastic closure was perhaps even more key for brand Vichy Catalán when releasing the only metal beverage can
available in this category.
Acidic
waters are corrosive to many larval shellfish, and they reduce the amount of
available carbonate, which some marine organisms need to form calcium
carbonate shells or skeletons.
If less carbon dioxide makes it into the
water, the ocean will stop becoming more acidic, and calcium
carbonate will be left
available to the organisms that use it to build shells.
Carbonated drinks were the first to introduce carbon dioxide into the cheapest drink
available (
water) and by making the drink more acidic (carbonic acid) it became more enjoyable to the tongue when sweetened along with these bubbles.
So the question of pH resolves to the rate at which calcium
carbonate is mobilised into the
water column from the substantial
available resource as a result of increased carbonic acid.
The increased levels of carbonic acid in the
water means there are less
carbonate ions
available in seawater for making shells, meaning that thousands of species that build shells or skeletons from calcium
carbonate are in danger of extinction.
