2 How Does Water Pollution Affect a Plant's Life Cycle?
3 What Factors Influence the Biodiversity of an Ecosystem?
Chemical pollution introduces chemicals into the natural environment, negatively affecting the air, water and soil. Such pollutants can come from a wide variety of sources. When chemical pollutants are concentrated or in an area for period, they can adversely affect the ecosystem and those who live in the area.
When a chemical pollutant enters a body of water, it can impact surrounding wildlife, watershed and residents. For example, if chemicals get into to a freshwater supply that people and/or animals rely on for drinking, it may no longer be safe for consumption or sanitation purposes. Toxic releases from industrial plants...
Fertilizers or sewage can introduce chemicals containing nitrate or phosphate into bodies of water. Nitrate and phosphate are food for the algae in water. An overload of these chemicals will cause the algae to bloom. As the excess algae die and decay, dissolved oxygen is used up and the overall quality of the water is ...
When emissions from industrial plants like sulfur and nitrogen oxides enter the atmosphere, they can produce acid rain. Acid rain can weaken plant life, stress marine animals and cause the soil to leach toxic metals. In some cases, chemical pollution can kill populations of beneficial species that support ecosystems, l...
When long-term exposure to chemical pollutants cause native species within an ecosystem to die, the area experiences a loss of diversity and becomes more vulnerable to invasive and undesirable species.
The class of chemical pollutants called greenhouse gases may contribute to global warming. Greenhouse gases released as a result of human activities include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases. Methane and nitrous oxide are released mostly through agricultural activities. The burning of fossil ...
Chemical pollution can affect animals -- including humans -- when ingested, breathed in or absorbed through the skin. Short-term exposure to some chemical pollutants can impair the immune, endocrine and reproductive systems. Pollutants may cause lesions, alter liver function or darken the skin.

Gwen Stefani Returning to 'The Voice' for Season 12 -- and So Is Blake Shelton!
Gwen Stefani is returning to where she first met her boyfriend, Blake Shelton.
It was announced on Tuesday morning that the 47-year-old singer will be joining Shelton, Adam Levine and Alicia Keys in the swivel chairs for season 12 of The Voice, which will debut in February 2017.
Miley Cyrus is currently a coach on the NBC musical competition series, and while she'll be sitting out next season, the pop star will return for season 13 in fall 2017.
"We can’t wait to experience the unique chemistry and energy Gwen, Alicia, Blake and Adam will bring to season 12,” Paul Telegdy, President of Alternative and Reality Group for NBC Entertainment, said. "With Miley returning for season 13, we’re truly ecstatic about the unmatched musical know-how and talent coming toget...
This will be Stefani's third time coaching on The Voice, though she's yet to have a contestant win. Levine, however, has three wins under his belt, while Shelton has four victories.
Stefani and Shelton started dating after meeting during season seven of The Voice in 2014 after both announcing their divorces.
The two went on to pen a duet, "Go Ahead and Break My Heart," which they performed on The Voice. "When I originally started writing this song ...I was only trying to impress Gwen," Shelton told ET, adding that the track was "just kind of something for she and I to help us feel better about what we were going through."

Consumers who own one of Tesla’s electric vehicles enjoy the advantage of not having to pay high prices at the pump, but critics have pointed out that it’s often hard to charge vehicles in urban settings since most of the time there’s no way to plug in at home or at work. However, that critique might not hold up for mu...
On Monday, the company announced that it would be expanding its network of Supercharger stations into city centers. The initiative is slated to start in downtown areas of Chicago and Boston, with stations being erected in various high-traffic locations.
“Supercharger stations in urban areas will be installed in convenient locations, including supermarkets, shopping centers and downtown districts, so it’s easy for customers to charge their car in the time it takes to grocery shop or run errands,” Tesla said in its announcement.
The company notes that the new Superchargers will use the same pricing as existing stations, which is “far cheaper than the cost of gasoline.” Officials say that the new stations will also employ a new post design that takes up less space and is optimized for highly populated, urban settings.
More information about the initiative and a map of all U.S. Supercharger stations can be viewed here.
Trade deadline roundtable: What do deals mean for LeBron James' future with the Cavs?
USA TODAY's NBA insiders broke down what Thursday's trades mean for the Cavs, Lakers and LeBron's future.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, tired of losing games and unwilling to let any more animosity fester, blew up their roster on Thursday, got younger and retained their coveted Brooklyn pick. In three separate deals, the Cavs kept themselves competitive for this season and positioned themselves well depending on what happens th...
By bringing in Utah's Rodney Hood, Sacramento's George Hill, Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. from the the Los Angeles Lakers, the Cavs took on money and sent a direct message to LeBron James. Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, Jae Crowder, Channing Frye, Iman Shumpert and Isaiah Thomas are out, giving the Cleveland locker ...
USA TODAY's NBA insiders Sam Amick and Jeff Zillgitt shed light on Thursday's surprising trade deadline.
What does this mean for LeBron’s future with the Cavs?
Amick: Forget for a minute that this deal helps the Lakers have a better shot at being able to afford LeBron – we’ll have more on that later. As it pertains to the Cavs and their ability to mend fences with their “hometown” hoops hero, to re-sign him this summer rather than seeing him leave for a second time, this is a...
So much for the supposed discord between James and Cavs owner Dan Gilbert compelling Cleveland to stand pat.
The league’s oldest roster gets an infusion of talented youth (Hood, Clarkson and Nance Jr. are all 25), becomes more potent and versatile on both ends of the floor, and Gilbert shows a willingness to take on future money that sends an important message about his commitment to title contention. Clarkson is owed $25.9 m...
Here’s all you need to know: The behind-the-scenes reaction from James’ inner circle was a resounding thumbs-up, meaning first-year general manager Koby Altman should take a bow.
Zillgitt: The Cavs need to make trades for the present and the future. This season’s Cavs were sputtering with no signs of “flipping the switch” as they have done in previous seasons. Cleveland is 7-13 since Dec. 21 and has lost nine of its past 14 games – barely holding onto third place and Toronto and Boston creating...
The Cavs needed defense and additional offense, especially non-ball dominant players, who can blend in with LeBron James, Kevin Love, J.R. Smith, Kyle Korver, Jeff Green, etc. They got that in these trades. While it might take time for the offense to mesh, Cleveland must get immediate help on defense, which ranks 29th ...
Getting younger with capable players and without trading Brooklyn’s first-round pick they received from Boston, the Cavs are trying to show James Cleveland remains the best place for him to compete for championships. It also gives Cleveland protection in the name of youth in case James leaves.
On paper, this gives the Cavs a better chance to reach the NBA Finals for a fourth consecutive season. They have two months and the playoffs to figure it out after this trade, which dispelled the notion that first-time GM Koby Altman is in over his head or that owner Dan Gilbert wants to move on from James 2.0. Now, th...
But what about the Lakers, who have two max salary cap slots for free agents this summer and have a better shot at LeBron?
All around the league, there was a sense that no one wanted to help the Lakers trade Clarkson because it was the move they had to make to land LeBron. Lo and behold, it’s the Cavs doing this deal.
Yet while the money aspect of this matters for the Lakers, the harsh truth about their LeBron candidacy is that the Cavs are suddenly the far superior option for James’ services — even moreso than before. Even with the Lakers’ recent uptick (seven wins in their past nine games), and even if Oklahoma City star/fellow fr...
Zillgitt: Let’s take James’ words from training camp at face value when he said nothing has changed his mind that Cleveland is the place where he intends to finish his career. That gives the Cavs the incumbent’s advantage over 29 other teams. That doesn’t mean James will stay in Cleveland either. Until James makes a de...
Also, let’s believe that James still wants to win another title or at least compete for a title. Do the Lakers give him a better chance to accomplish that? In the West – with Houston and Golden State and Minnesota – the Lakers have roster improvements to make even with James and another star to get that level.
Did Isaiah Thomas inspire this move with his outspoken ways in these past few weeks?
Amick: In a word, yes.
The locker room dynamic was not healthy, and Thomas’ penchant for speaking his mind about the inner turmoil only made matters worse. Add in the fact that he struggled during his 15-game stay and the Cavs were more than happy to send him to the exits.
There is a strong sense from Thomas’ side that James was among those who wanted to see him go – a claim that is refuted by James’ associates. Either way, Thomas now gets a better pathway to his own free agency this summer while the Cavs can get to work repairing their well-chronicled chemistry problems.
Zillgitt: Thomas didn’t make any friends with his comments and wasn’t winning any locker room popularity contests. But I’m told this was more about production and on-court fit. Thomas isn’t to blame for his production. He missed the first two-plus months of the season rehabbing a debilitating hip injury, but the Cavs d...
In 15 games with the Cavs, Thomas averaged 14.7 points and shot 36.1% from the field and 25.3% on three-pointers, and with him on the court, Cleveland scored just 103.5 points and allowed 118.6 points per 100 possessions for a minus-15.1 net rating. The James-Thomas pairing in 338 minutes yielded a minus-15.5 net ratin...

The Jets will finish the 2016 season with the quarterback who started the 2016 season: Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Jets coach Todd Bowles named Fitzpatrick his starter for Sunday’s finale against the Bills, opting for the veteran who has been benched twice this season over rookie Christian Hackenberg.
The decision tells you what the Jets coaches and front office think of Hackenberg, the second-round pick out of Penn State. They don’t trust him enough to play a meaningless game. Instead, Fitzpatrick will be back in the saddle for what figures to be his final game in a Jets uniform.
Bowles, as usual, was not very expansive in his explanation of why he chose Fitzpatrick. In his eyes, it was simply sliding names up the depth chart after Bryce Petty’s season ended Saturday in New England with a torn labrum in his left shoulder.
“[Fitzpatrick] was the backup. Now, he’s the starter,” Bowles said.
Bowles said there is no plan to play Hackenberg, who will be active for his first game, at all. Unless Fitzpatrick gets hurt or the game gets completely out of hand in the second half, it sounds like Hackenberg’s pro debut won’t come this season.
“We’re not going to gain or lose nothing by bringing in Christian in this game,” Bowles said.
This decision infuriated Jets fans on Twitter, who are clamoring to at least get a glimpse at the quarterback the Jets took with the No. 51 overall pick. With the team at 4-11 and missing the playoffs for the sixth straight season, many fans were hoping to see the rookie. Instead, Fitzpatrick will be back out there for...
Neither Fitzpatrick nor Hackenberg spoke with the media on Tuesday.
Wide receiver Brandon Marshall did, though, and he said it would be unfair to put Hackenberg into this game.
Marshall believes Hackenberg can benefit from continuing to sit.
It is amazing to consider the Jets started off with four quarterbacks this season, more than any other team, and they could wind up using all of them if Fitzpatrick gets injured Sunday.
“We may need five,” Bowles joked.
Fitzpatrick was benched for Geno Smith in October. Smith tore the ACL in his right knee in the second quarter of his first start, ending his season. Then, after a month of fans begging for Petty to start, Bowles gave Petty the reins in December for a four-game audition. Petty then suffered a season-ending shoulder inju...
The plan all along for Hackenberg was for this to be a “redshirt” season, leaving him on the bench to learn. The Jets are sticking to that plan.
The Grizzlies finally proved their "grit and grind" style can work against the NBA's top teams by beating a quality Denver Nuggets team.
It packed a sentimental punch as a marketing slogan, but the early season verdict remained unclear.
How would the Grizzlies' defense-first, "grit and grind" mentality stack up against the Western Conference's elite?
Memphis kept pace with league's top team, Golden State, for a half on Monday, only to go cold on the second night of a back-to-back and lose by 16.
As the team flew home from a frustrating 1-2 road trip, its five wins were against teams with a combined record of 12-30. It's three games against teams with winning records? Losses by an average of 16.3 points.
That next game turned in to the Grizzlies' marquee victory to date, an 89-87 Wednesday night slugfest win over the Denver Nuggets — the only team to beat Golden State this season. Memphis (6-4) became the first team to hold Denver (9-2) under 100 points and the first to win a game while scoring under 90 points.
