Those pollutants which can be broken down into simpler, harmless, substances in nature in due course of time (by the action of micro-organisms like certain bacteria) are called biodegradable pollutants. Domestic wastes (garbage), urine, faecal matter, sewage, agriculture residues, paper, wood, cloth, cattle dung, animal bones, leather, wool, vegetable stuff or plants are biodegradable pollutants
Non Biodegradable Materials:
Those pollutants which cannot be broken down into simpler, harmless substances in nature, are called non-biodegradable pollutants. DDT, plastics, polythene, bags, insecticides, pesticides, Mercury, lead, arsenic, metal articles like aluminum cans, synthetic fibres, glass objects, iron products and silver foils are non-biodegradable pollutants.

Why do you separate biodegradable from non-biodegradable materials?
We segregate our biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes so that all biodegradable can be used as fertilizers while the non biodegradable can be recycled to make different creative products.
What can humans do to help reduce the problem of non biodegradable materials?
make sure thatl less non biodegradable materials is left on the planet.

None are both, but all are some?
How can non biodegradable materials be converted into energy?
Many non-biodegradable materials can be converted into energy by burning them. Most plastics will burn. Bear in mind however that many of them produce toxic fumes when burned. Some non-biodegradable materials have no good way to convert them into energy. Used tin cans are not biodegradable and don't burn. They are possible to recycle however.
Can non biodegradable materials be broken down?
no unless they are ash
What are the causes and effects of burn?
causes of burning non-biodegradable materials- It can makes our environment pollute. We must stop burning of non-biodegradable materials, such as plastics- it can make our environment polluted
Why are non-biodegradable materials harmful to the environment?
Due to the current population figures and projections, we cannot continue to use and dispose of materials or we will be living in our neighbor's garbage. The use of non-biodegradable materials must be severely restricted.
How can non biodegradable materials be considered as a factor or promoting pollution?
Non biodegradable materials are very difficult to dispose of. If not dealt with correctly, they may end up becoming toxic and posing a threat to life.
What are nonbiodegradable materials?
Only Plastics are non biodegradable. because the molecular bond between them is so strong hence it is difficult to break it hence it is non biodegradable
What are examples of non biodegradable material?
Non-biodegradable materials are things that can't be broken down easily by natural processes. For example, plastic shopping bags would take thousands of years to be degraded (broken down). Some examples of non-biodegradable materials are: plastic polystyrene (styrofoam) metals foams glasses silicon-based materials/circuit boards oil ashes
