What are the problems caused by the non-biodegradable wastes that we generate?
Explanation:
The following are the issues caused by non-biodegradable waste:
- Non-biodegradable waste does not decompose. They accumulate in the environment and cause biomagnification; as a result of this accumulation, they pollute soil and water; they pollute the environment.
- If such wastes are burned, they pollute the air.
- Non-biodegradable wastes, such as pesticides, deplete soil fertility as they penetrate it. The soil's pH level becomes unsuitable for plant growth.
- Some substances contaminate the environment, causing harm to living organisms.
