Answer 1

This is an example of water pollution. It can harm the animals living by the lake, and the people breathing the air.

Answer 2

This is an example of a negative impact in environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

This steel factory waste thrown in the lake causes water pollution or contamination of the lake, causing the death of the fishes. This also affects the whole community, human beings included, because surely they depend on fishing practices to live, and the steel factory took away the possibility to make a living around the lake.

We need to remember that water pollution is basically the contamination of water bodies due to the human intervention, because they throw wastes or everything that don't belong to the ecosystem.
