Chemical agents that can occur as by-products of industrial pollution and be consumed by humans are

Polychlorinated Biphenyls.

Explanation:

Polychlorinated Biphenyls are man-made chemicals. They are solids, and oily liquid in structure with no taste or small, yellow to clear in color. PCBs are present as a mixture, and very stable at an extreme pressure, and temperature. Basically they are used in electrical equipment such as transformers, and capacitors. High level of PCBs can cause broad spectrum of effects in humans, for example:

1) Increase some liver enzyme level, and cause hepatic damage.

2) Respiratory problems.

3) Dermal lesions.

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
