Answer 1

Burning trash releases harmful pollutants, such as heavy metals and dioxins, which can be deposited into nearby water sources through rain runoff and atmospheric deposition, leading to contamination of local water supplies. This process can lower the pH of water due to the introduction of acidic compounds, posing further risks to aquatic ecosystems and human health.
