Soil
Soil is the upper layer of the ground comprising of a mixture of sand, silt, clay, loose rock fragments, and organic matter that can support the growth of rooted plants. The relative proportions of sand, silt and clay determine the texture and size of the pores of the soil, which affects its ability to allow air and water to penetrate/infiltrate.
Explanation:
Lichen is the best species to determine the pollution of air. They are highly sensitive to pollution and will barely be found growing on trees or rock in regions where the air has been polluted.
Worms are also a good indicators of pollution in the soil. Polluted soils will have very few to no worms.
Small invertebrates like the Caddisfly are used to determine pollution of water. They are very sensitive to water pollution and cannot be found in polluted waters. In addition toads and frogs are rare in polluted waters and air.

They do not influence the salinity level in their environment, they maintain the salinity in their body. If they don't, osmosis will cause their cells to shrink due to the fact that the salinity in the cell is lower than outside the cell. This will make water leave the cells. So they need to get rid of excess salt all the time. Freshwater fish need to retain the salt in their bodies, otherwise the opposite will happen. Salinity level in the cell is higher than outside the cell and this causes influx of water which will make the cell build up turgor pressure. Ultimately they will explode. So fishes in both environments adapted to deal with osmosis.
