Clues

  • a localised and stationary source of pollution (5, 6)
  • air pollutant not directly emitted, but forms when other pollutants react in the atmosphere e.g. hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide (9, 9)
  • anything that causes a mutation (change in DNA), which may harm cells and cause certain diseases, such as cancer (7)
  • soluble in fats or fat solvents (14)
  • the breakdown of a material (11)
  • the interaction or cooperation of 2 or more organisations, substances, or other agents to produce the combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects (9)
  • the process by which a compound/ toxin increases its concentration in the tissues of organisms as it travels up the food chain (16)
  • the quality of being toxic or poisonous (8)
  • when toxins build up in a food chain (15)
