      Yes if you looked at a map of pollution, it would certainly show patches where cities are. In my hometown of Southampton, the biggest polluter is the port not the people.

      Defintely. More people = more pollution (because there are more cars etc.). There is also more light pollution (lights can impact on the behaviour of animals) and noise pollution (which can reduce how many young an animal can have because of stress and disturbance).
