What types of pollution that can affect biodiversity?

Answer 1

Pollution from man made resources can cause a significant amount of biodiversity loss: for example, fumes from car exhausts can pollute the atmosphere and air surrounding major cities, resulting in birds either dying or relocating to another area because of this. Water pollution such as acid rain, litter and waste pored into reservoir's, sea's or canals can poison the fish and kill other animals that live in the water.

Ground pollution can be known as ground destruction where landscapes where animals live are destroyed with industrialisation and new buildings, leaving the animals with nowhere to live because of the destruction of their habitats.

Answer 2

Pollution destroys some of our existing species. These species evolved over millions of years and some of them went through diverse periods environmentally and can suffer through such periods. Their genetic pool must sustain our needs through whatever the future brings: warming, cooling, atmosphere changes, whatever. When pollution destroys some of these species our genetic reserve pool is reduced as is our ability to manage future change, whatever it might be. To the extent that we can reduce pollution and preserve our pool of species, doing this maximizes our future ability to handle change.

Answer 3

Air pollution can effect biodiversity as well as point source and non-point source pollution. This so because they if they build up, they can make organisms die
