Best Answer

it burns the leaves and destroys the roots which will stop the trees from growing.

Answer:

There are many types of pollution which impact forests:

  • Air pollutants like sulfur dioxides have a phytotoxicological (plant poison) effect that will directly kill the leaves
  • Air pollutants like ethylene are plant hormones that impact the speed of growth of plants
  • Air pollutants like hydrocarbon can coat the leaves of trees reducing thee exchange of gases with the atmosphere
  • Water pollution like acid rain can both damage plants directly or leach nutrients out of the soil.
  • Heavy metal (lead etc.) particulates can poison the soil and plant roots
  • Hydrocarbons in the soil can poison plant roots
  • Acidic materials in the soil can change the soil structure.
