Give any two ways in which non-biodegradable substances would affect the environment.
Unlike the biodegradable substances, the non- biodegradable substances would affect the environment in the negative ways and they cannot be degraded easily. They can be accumulated and biologically magnified when they get pass through the food chain. The two ways are following in which non- biodegradable substances affect the environment:-
As they do not degrade or degrade very slowly in nature. These non- biodegradable substances get accumulated in the ecosystem and get biologically magnified as they passed through the food chain, they remains in the environment and does not get decompose. This can cause pollution and kills many animals by eating these non- biodegradable substances.
Plastics, tins, glass containers, radioactive materials, polythene, biomagnifications of Dichloro- diphenyl- trichloroethane in aquatic food chain, detergents- these non- biodegradable substances affect the environment when they get accumulated it causes soil pollution, water pollution, electronic waste pollution, thermal pollution etc.
