] ] dissolved in water are not necessarily dangerous, but can give the water a bad taste or foul smell. These compounds can be removed in several ways, the most effective being by exposure to ] gas. However, aeration can also be effective if the amount of sulfur in the water is relatively low. |

During aeration, water is pumped into a non-pressurized tank and agitated. This physically removes many of the sulfur compounds, which are then vented. Exposure to ] in the air also ] some of the compounds, creating atomic sulfur which can be filtered from the water. |

Small tanks and ] for keeping aquatic animals such as fish or lobsters often rely on aeration to maintain sufficient level of ] in the water. This can be achieved by pumping air into the water, allowing it to bubble to the surface; or by a fountain jet agitating the water. Both these methods create an agitated, large amount of surface area between the water and the air, thus allowing transfer of gases. |

Wave action on the shores of large bodies of water can provide aeration of the water in the vicinity, thus providing enhanced oxygenation which can benefit various aquatic lifeforms. |
