Answer 1

Aside: The answer assumes the question does not mean "How do toxic waste sites affect Zombies?" (Even though zombies are affected by salt which may be in toxic wastes)

Answer:

Non-living systems include soil and groundwater as well as air.

Toxic waste sites can:

* leach out toxins that contaminate ground water and surface water making it unfit to drink, use for agriculture, or for fish to live in * change the pH of water reducing its usefulness and/or increasing heavy metal leaching

* degrade soil structures so that the ionic balance is lost * contaminate soils so plants cannot gtow in them, or absorb toxins from the soil making them unfit to eat * emit volatile substance to the air

Answer 2

Yes, non-living things can be affected by pollution. Pollution can contaminate and degrade the environment, leading to physical and chemical changes in non-living things such as soil, water, and air. For example, air pollution can lead to acid rain, water pollution can harm aquatic environments, and soil pollution can impact plant growth.
