Blood carries immune system cells, known as white cells or leukocytes. Some examples of white cells are phagocytes and lymphocytes.

Phagocytes ingest and dissolve pathogens, as well as strange particles or dying cells.

Lymphocytes are divided into T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells (NK). B cells produce antibodies to respond to foreign cells, T cells attack pathogens using enzymes and other non-antibodies responses, while NK cells combat tumors and cells infected by viruses.

The krakato eruption destroyed life and left behind volcanic ash. A large chemical spill can also destroy life. How would succes
amm1812

Since chemical spills are very harmful to aquatic/land life for both plants and animals, plants probably wouldn't grow back and animals could be mutated or even killed, decreasing the population of that species. A volcano eruption, can be both good and bad, since a volcano can kill animals and plants, but ash from a volcano is extremely fertile, so plants can regrow, which in turn brings animals back so they can feed on those plants.
