Browsing: Pollution
Pollution refers to the introduction of harmful substances or contaminants into the environment, negatively impacting air, water, soil, and living organisms. It can result from industrial activities, transportation, agriculture, waste disposal, and even household products. Common types include air pollution from fossil fuel emissions, plastic and chemical pollution in oceans, and nutrient runoff that leads to waterway degradation. Pollution poses serious health risks to humans and ecosystems, contributing to issues like respiratory diseases, climate change, and biodiversity loss. Scientific research on pollution focuses on identifying sources, measuring impacts, and developing sustainable solutions to mitigate its effects.
