Ms. Chan drew the picture below, which shows a common landscaping practice.

• It leads to the pollution of the air when chemicals break down and produce gases.

• It leads to the pollution of nearby water sources when runoff carries chemicals from the soil to local streams and lakes.

• It leads to the pollution of drinking water in the home when chemicals seep into underground pipes.

• It leads to the pollution of nearby soil when animals track mud from one place to another.
