Pollution can impact whales in two ways:

  • As top predators (they eat things that eat things,that eat things) they are at the receiving end (get aconcentrated dose of) of the bioaccumulation of contaminants like PCBs and Mercury.
  • Low levels of pollution and climate change can remove the species of food that whales eat. They then starve.
