What are the problems caused by the non-biodegradable wastes that we generate ?
solution:
(i) Non-biodegradable waste persist in the environment for a long time and cause greater harm to the various members of the ecosystem by causing biological magnification.
(ii) Non-biodegradable waste such as fertilizers, pesticides, weedicides, etc., changes the soil chemistry. This inturn affects the fertility of soil and subsequently reduces the crop yield.
