The document summarizes various human activities that negatively impact ecosystems, including deforestation, overfishing, water pollution, and the use of harmful fishing methods. It discusses how deforestation can lead to soil erosion and desertification. It also explains how untreated sewage, excessive use of inorganic fertilizers, and insecticides can pollute water sources and biomagnify up the food chain, poisoning organisms.

Organism such fish die due to lack of oxygen in water
submerged algae and water plants die due
to lack of sunlight. the dead algae and water plants are decomposed by aerobic bacteria and fungi Inorganic waste 1. Waste water containg poisonous metals is discharged into the water body 2. Poisonous metals are absorbed by the water plants in the water body 3. The water plants are eaten by fish 4. Fish caught from the sea contain high concentrations of poisonous metals 5. Villagers who eat the fish are poisoned Insecticides
Insecticides are substances used to kill insects
DDT (Dischlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is an insectiticide
Bioaccumulation is the accumulation of substances in the body of an
organism
Bioampllification or biomagnification is the process of results in the
insecticide being passed along food chains, increasing in concentration in the bodies of organisms along the trophic levels.
