YES!!!

Water pollution does affect polar bears. If they swim in polluted water then the water will get under their fur and could possibly cause a skin rash and possibly die. If they drink the polluted water they could get sick and die. They also can swallow poison or toxic wastes and die. So yes water pollution does affect polar bears.

  • reducing reas suitable for habitat
  • reducing availability of food needed for survival and reproduction
  • reducing sea ice needed for resting stations
