What is the effects of the pollution of the great lakes?
Pollution in the Great Lakes has significant ecological and health impacts, including the degradation of water quality and harm to aquatic life. Contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and excess nutrients lead to harmful algal blooms, which can produce toxins detrimental to both wildlife and human health. Additionally, polluted waters threaten local economies reliant on fishing and tourism, while also disrupting the delicate balance of the lakes' ecosystems. Efforts to address these issues are critical for restoring and preserving this vital natural resource.

What would happen if an asteroid hit the great lakes?
That is a question with a great many variables! Let's narrow it down. Let's say a 1 mile wide asteroid made of solid rock is going to impact Lake Michigan 50 miles out to lake at 12 miles per second. You are observing this event from the City of Chicago. It impacts the lake in about 800 feet of water.
In that first instant, there is a flash of light 300 times brighter and hotter than the sun and it appears to be 60 times the size of the sun. There is a good chance this alone will kill you as it will continue to radiate this amount of energy for about 4.5 minutes. But lets say it doesn't, your a super hero.
10-15 seconds after impact the region is struck by a 8.0-8.5 earthquake on the Richter scale that lasts a few minutes. This will certainly begin to crumble the city and general area to the ground.
2 minutes after first light, fragments of molten earth and red hot debris ranging in size from small cars to pebbles begins to rain down all over the place, up to several hundred miles from the impact site and this may last a while.
4 minutes after first light a 1,000 mph hour blast wave arrives sweeping away much of the landscape, strangely enough FOLLOWED by a 120 decibel explosion a minute or so after...most likely blowing out you ear drums, if of course you aren't already a charred, crushed, pulverized smattering of dust already.
Last, but not least, 26 minutes or so after first light, a 200 feet high tsunami comes crashing ashore at 100 mph washing the rest of the landscape away and washing 100-150 miles inland on all sides of the lake, depending on the local topography.
That is one scenario, but these events only occur every few million years and the chance of one happening over the Great Lakes restricts it to an even more infinitesimal chance. SO I wouldn't lose sleep over it. :-)
