Give any two ways in which biodegradable substances would affect the environment.
The biodegradable substances would affect the environment and they can easily degraded by the natural actions. Two ways are following in which biodegradable substances affect the environment:-
-
Biodegradable substances decomposed easily, they are less harmful than the non- biodegradable substances. When the decomposition process occurs through the microbial action or the radiations they produce foul smell. Biodegradable wastes like green waste, food waste, paper etc. pollutes the environment only when they are present in the excess amount and produce some harmful gases like ammonia, methane gas, carbon dioxide that may cause global warming.
-
When the decomposition process occurs by some microbes of biodegradable wastes, which contains houseflies, mosquitoes which carry the parasites which are the main causes of the human diseases.
