Question

How does nature work to clean up the environment when polluted with chemicals?

Answer 1

Action of nature on pollution:

1. When the environment is polluted with chemicals, nature can help to clean it up in the following ways:
2. Clean water mixes with contaminants from the soil, diluting or reducing pollution.
3. A few substances, such as solvents and oils, may evaporate in the soil, converting from liquids to gases. Such gases can be destroyed by sunlight if they escape into the atmosphere at ground level.
4. Chemicals may cling to the soil, keeping them in place. This does not remove the chemicals, but it does prevent them from damaging groundwater and leaving the site.
