Forest pollution refers to the presence of harmful substances in forest environments, caused by human activities such as industrial emissions, improper waste disposal, deforestation, and illegal dumping. Pollutants like sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals, and plastics degrade soil quality, contaminate water sources, and damage trees and plant life. This type of pollution not only harms flora and fauna but also disrupts the natural carbon cycle.
Pollution in forests severely affects wildlife health and biodiversity.
Toxic chemicals accumulate in plants and water sources
Causing long-term damage to animals, from birds and insects
Acid rain, caused by industrial emissions, alters soil pH
The result is a weakening of the entire forest ecosystem
