Answer 1

Biodegradable Pollutants:

i. They are decomposed and degraded by microbes

ii. Degradation process is rapid

iii. They are not accumulated but are used up in short time.

iv. They are used to produce energy manure, compost and biogas.

v. They become part of biogeochemical cycles and give back rapid turn over

Non-Biodegradable Pollutants:

i. Cannot be decomposed by microbes.ii. Degradation process is slow.

iii. They often accumulate.

iv. They can be separated and recycled but the process is very expensive.

v. Most of them never enter into Biogeochemical cycles, very slow and toxic.

Answer 2

heya!!

here is your answer⤵️⤵️

Biodegradable pollutants :

They can decompose by bacteira.

They can decompose in a short period of time.

Pollutants may be by nature.

Non - degradable pollutants :

They are not decomposed by bacteira activity.

They take more time to decompose.

No bacteira helps in this process.

hope my answer helps you
