Secondary Pollutants:

The pollutants develop as a result of interaction of primary pollutants and environmental constituents.

They are generally oxidizing.

They are more toxic.

Secondary pollutants show synergism.

They are modified products

(iii) From the ecosystem point of view, i.e., according to their natural disposal, pollutants are of two types:

(a) Bio–degradable Pollutants:

Atmosphere and Air pollution	https://unacademy.com/lesson/atmosphere-and-air-pollution-in-hindi/P9RXIC99
Primary and secondary Air Pollutants	https://unacademy.com/lesson/primary-and-secondary-air-pollutants-in-hindi/1L8DS47Y
Pollution and their effect on Human being	https://unacademy.com/lesson/pollution-and-their-effect-on-human-being-in-hindi/GL4ELJ7P

These are the pollutants that are quickly degraded by natural means. Heat or thermal pollution, and domestic sewage are considered in this category as these can be rapidly decomposed by natural processes or by engineered systems such as municipal treatment, plants etc.
