A very persistent pollutant would

A. Biodegrade immediately

B. Be the easiest kind to remove

C. Only be made up of natural elements

D. remain in the environment for a long time

D. remain in the environment for a long time

Explanation:

Persistent organic pollutants are known to be or can be described as carbon-based chemicals that persist in the environment for a long time, are damaging to the environment, wildlife, and people, and can be spread over long distances. This means that , they are resistant to environmental degradation through chemical and biological processes.

The examples of persistent pollutants can be grouped into three, these are

* Pesticides: aldrin, chlordane, DDT, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, hexachlorobenzene, mirex, toxaphene;

* Industrial chemicals: hexachlorobenzene, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs); and

* By-products: hexachlorobenzene; polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/PCDF), and PCBs.

In conclusion, the persistent pollutants have the ability to remain in the environment for a long time.
