destruction of plants

- construction of power plants may

cause land disturbances

reduced growth in plants

affects selective permeability on plant

cells

- factories emit air pollutants that

contribute to acid rain

deforestation

drive out water plant species

- construction of these facilities reduces

wetland areas

destruction of plants

- pollutants from car exhausts

contribute to the cause of acid rain

impossible to photosynthesize

Page 8: Envi Sci 10. Impacts on Plants

decline growth in plants

- due to EMF emitted

impair mitochondrial function

- due to Cadmium from heavy metals

Page 9: Envi Sci 10. Impacts on Plants

decline growth in plants

- EMF emitted can cause reduced

growth characteristics of plants

contamination of crops

- inserted genes may spread to wild

populations, with potentially serious

consequences for biodiversity
