Solution:
The above statement is true.Fertilizers have some harmful effects. Fertilizers are chemical compounds that are nutrient-rich and used to maintain fertility. Unfortunately, they also have harmful effects. They persist in the soil and damage its porous structure, which is necessary for plant growth. Additionally, they exterminate soil animals like earthworms. Burrowing earthworms loosen the soil and create pores in it. Fertilisation may affect the heavy metal contained by soil and plant systems. Plants and crops absorb the fertilisers through the soil, they can enter the food chain. Thus, it leads to air, water and soil pollution.
