Chemicals can be harmful to rivers and lakes because they disrupt aquatic ecosystems, leading to toxicity for fish and other wildlife. Contaminants like pesticides, heavy metals, and nutrients can cause algal blooms, depleting oxygen levels and harming aquatic life. Additionally, these pollutants can enter the food chain, posing health risks to animals and humans who rely on these water sources. Overall, chemical pollution diminishes water quality and biodiversity.
