Biological Decomposition of Environmental Pollutants-Biodegradable Pollutants such as plastic bags. Some of the most notable air pollutants are sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and airborne particles, with radioactive pollutants probably among the most destructive ones (specifically when produced by nuclear explosions). Our Air Pollutants article provides a clear overview of sources and effects of these air pollutants. Water pollutants include insecticides and herbicides, food processing waste, pollutants from livestock operations, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals, chemical waste and others. Some soil pollutants are: hydrocarbons, solvents and heavy metals.
