What Types of Pollution Are Most Harmful to Predator-Prey Dynamics?

Various types of pollution can affect predator-prey dynamics, including chemical pollution, plastic pollution, and noise pollution. Chemical pollutants such as pesticides and heavy metals can accumulate in the bodies of organisms, leading to bioaccumulation and biomagnification through the food chain. Plastic pollution can entangle or be ingested by both predators and prey, causing physical harm. Noise pollution can disrupt communication and hunting behaviors in predators.
