Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biodegradable pollutants can be broken down and consumed by organisms, leading to their destruction. Non-biodegradable pollutants, on the other hand, cannot be broken down naturally and can accumulate in the environment. Radioactive pollutants emit harmful ionizing radiation that can be harmful to living organisms. PBT (persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic) pollutants are chemicals that persist in the environment, accumulate in living organisms, and can have harmful effects on health and the environment.
