Best Answer

There are several effects.

A few are good:

  • Increased carbon dioxide levels may increase plant growth.

Most are bad:

  • Ethylene (a plant hormone) affects plant growth rates
  • SOx can kill plants and change soil structure
  • Heavy metal particulates can impair plant edibility
  • Sanitary sewage can contaminate plants
  • Livestock can be poisoned by air contaminants
  • Yields may be reduced

Major pollution impacts such as global climate change are difficult to catigorize. This process will:

  • Increase available carbon dioixde
  • Warm the northern regions while over heating southern regions
  • Change rainfall, causing both drought and floods
  • Allow insect species (pests)to migrate north
  • Reduce snowfall creating drer soils in spring
