Contaminated meat can contain harmful bacteria or other pathogens that cause foodborne illness, often leading to digestive symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. Air pollution mainly affects the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, while fertilizer use is not as directly linked to digestive illness as eating contaminated meat. The correct choice is meat contamination.
