Explain how pollution may threaten the local natural environment.​

Sagot :

Answer: Pollution may muddy landscapes, poison soils and waterways, or kill plants and animals. Long-term exposure to air pollution, for example, can lead to chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer and other diseases. Toxic chemicals that accumulate in top predators can make some species unsafe to eat. Pollution  can also damage crops and trees in a variety of ways. Ground level ozone can lead to reductions in agricultural crop and commercial forest yields, reduced growth and survivability of tree seedlings, and increased plant susceptibility to disease, pests and other environmental stresses (such as harsh weather)
