The melting of Arctic ice isn’t the only problem facing polar bears.
Polar bear’s habitats are becoming exposed to high levels of pollutants resulting from human waste.
The Arctic food chain now contains high levels of some toxic chemicals resulting from leaking landfills and increasing oil developments in the Arctic.
Polar bears can ingest these chemicals through grooming and eating contaminated prey, which can cause an array of health problems, including liver and kidney damage.
Humans are slowly destroying the earth and habitats of many species.
