Anthropogenic hazard

Anthropogenic hazard is a danger to people, animals, plants, and the environment that is caused by people. Examples of anthropogenic hazards are car accidents, air pollution, and oil spills. When we drive cars, the exhaust from the engine can make the air dirty. This air pollution can affect our health and environment. Oil spills can happen when a boat or oil tanker spills oil into the water by accident. This oil can be harmful to animals, plants, and our environment.
