Detailed explanation-1: -In addition to water and land pollution, litter can also pollute the air. Researchers estimate that more than 40% of the world’s litter is burned in the open air, which can release toxic emissions. These emissions can cause respiratory issues, other health problems and even be a starting base for acid rain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Debris can also affect the water quality by adding chemicals to the water. Construction waste illegally dumped in a stream can in-clude buckets that once held paints, solvents, and other chemicals that can enter the water. Cigarette butts and some other littered items contain toxic chemicals that leach into the water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Litter can serve as a breeding ground for bacteria and can spread disease through direct or indirect contact with humans. Mismanaged trash may also attract pests or cause fires.
