3. Leads to a misbalance of ocean life, severely affecting natural
ecosystems in the
process
-4. Ozone depletion results in more UVB radiation reaching the Earth's
surface.
5. Has been linked to environmental issues like air and water pollution
increases, in addition to the creation of heat-islands.
6. This results in loss of habitat for many species, placing many at risk
and leading to large-scale extinction.
-7. This could lead to extensive flooding, contamination of drinking
water and major changes in ecosystems.
8. This increase in acidification can have direct effect on calcifying
species, such as shellfish
_9. are toxic wastes produced in the making of paints, inks and electrical
insulators.
