What is $DDT$ among the following?
- AGreenhouse gas
- BA fertilizer
- CBiodegradable pollutant
- ✓Non-biodegradable pollutant
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Non-biodegradable pollutant
d
Those pollutants which cannot be broken down into simpler, harmless substances in nature, are called non-biodegradable pollutants. $DDT$, plastics, polythene, bags, insecticides, pesticides, mercury, lead, arsenic, metal articles like aluminium cans, synthetic fibers, glass objects, iron products, and silver foils are non-biodegradable pollutants.
