Do toxic chemicals help bacteria to grow?
The question is toxic to what. Not all chemicals which are toxic to humans are toxic to bacteria, and some chemicals which are toxic to bacteria are harmless to humans (which is why we can have antibiotics). There are chemicals (like Hydrogen Sulfide) which are very toxic to mammals that SOME bacteria eat as food. But there are other chemicals like chlorine which are toxic to both humans and bacteria. So the question does not have a simple answer.

The harmful effects of microorganisms?
Typically, we can tolerate microorganisms, depending on the type. We have quite a few different bugs in our intestine, on our skin and in our mouths, and for the most part they do no significant harm. However, many bacteria and fungi grow a colony on a food source and produce a toxin to prevent other microorganisms from growing. Botulism food poisoning isn't actually caused by the bacteria, it's the toxin that the bacteria produces to "protect its turf." The bacteria is quite harmless and easily killed but the toxin is quite resistant. Same with yeast. It converts sugar (food source) into alcohol as a toxin to protect it's turf. Same with Penicillin and almost every microorganism you can imagine. In reality, we could not live without microorganisms, and while most are harmless, some are even beneficial, and some can make you quite ill or even kill you.

Are all microorganisms on your skin bad?
"Although you might not like to think about it, millions of microorganisms, including bacteria, are living on the surface of your skin. Most of the time they are harmless, but, if you get a cut or even an insect bite everyday bacteria may take the opportunity to slip under the skin and cause an infection." source: http://www.healthology.com/skin-problems/skin-problems-information/article1216.htm
What is biodegradable and non biodegradable materials?
Biodegradable pollutants: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 pollutantsNon 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.
