Depending on whether the animals are in nature or in a home environment, the factors that contribute to animals being exposed to toxins are man-made. Factories contaminate air and water. Combustion from engines pollutes the air. Garbage that is disposed contaminates the air, water and land. Often times, the lure of food for any animal, is what brings the animal into closer human contact, thus increasing the exposure to toxins. For a pet, the home environment and the decisions the pet owner takes to have chemicals like cleaners, fertilizers or pesticides and like motor oil increase exposure to toxins. 

Individuals can prevent exposure for themselves and their pets by decreasing the use of motor vehicles, reducing the amount of garbage and trash produced, being a informed consumer who attempts to purchase more organic, Earth and animal friendly goods and services. Boycott corporations which contribute to the decline of the environment and increase exposure to these toxins. Other simpler ways, in environments with smog or other industrial pollutants, wearing clothing that covers most of the body, including breathing masks, gloves and glasses or goggles.

Explain why an increase in CO, in Earth's atmosphere, might cause the temperature of the atmosphere to increase and lead to clim
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

When the carbon dioxide concentrations rise, the air temperature will rise as well due to the greenhouse gases heating up and multiplying.  

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide causes about 20 percent of Earth's greenhouse effect; water vapour accounts for about 50 percent; and clouds account for 25 percent. ... Likewise, when carbon dioxide concentrations rise, air temperatures go up, and more water vapour evaporates into the atmosphere—which then amplifies greenhouse heating.
