I wondered the same.
This is off-topic because it has not been touched on in COSMOS (yet) but another good example of how human industry has affected the environment is the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
American chemist Sherwood Rowland shared the 1995 Nobel prize in Chemistry for his discovery that CFCs were contributing to Ozone depletion.
