Solution

Biodegradable pollutants are those substances for which there exists natural waste treatment mechanism.

Explanation:

Biodegradable pollutants consist of materials like domestic sewage, cloth, paper, and wood, which can be rapidly decomposed by natural processes such as the action of microorganisms. These substances are broken down naturally, unlike non-biodegradable pollutants that persist in the environment and do not degrade easily. The natural decomposition helps to reduce pollution when the quantity of such wastes does not exceed the environment’s capacity to decompose them.
