 DEFINITION
• Pollution - The term pollution can be defined as
influence of any substance causing nuisance,
harmful effects, and uneasiness to the organisms.

• Environment - Refers to the surroundings in

which life exists. Components like land, water, air,
sunlight, trees make up the environment.
 DEFINITION
• Environmental Pollution - Is any addition of
erroneous substances or energies to the
environment, that causes a change to the
composition of the environment. These variables
can be air, water, soil, noise, and light and changes
to their natural values can have profound
consequences for ecosystems and human life.

IMPACT FACTORS
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION IMPACT
FACTORS
- The rate at which pollution disperse and pollutants
degrade to release dangerous chemicals is
important in assessing how dangerous a point
source of pollution will be.
HERE ARE THE FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE
DISPERSAL OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION:

• Air pollution: the speed and direction of wind

currents can tell us which locations are likely to
receive the most air pollution (locations
downwind of highly industrial areas are
susceptible to air pollution). If air is more
humid, the particles are more likely to become
denser and be deposited into soils and waters.
HERE ARE THE FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE
DISPERSAL OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION:

• Water pollution: the speed and direction of

water currents determine which parts of the
ocean may receive the most water pollution.
Water pollutants will stick to adsorbent
materials and be concentrated in areas with a
high concentration of them.
HERE ARE THE FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE
DISPERSAL OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION:

• Soil pollution: aerated soils will allow

contaminants to pass through them more
quickly. Increased runoff from rainfall can result
in soil pollution on a wider scale as well.

AWAYS
Environmental Pollution Key
Takeaways
• Environmental pollution is the addition of
unwanted chemicals that cause a change to the
environment.

• Examples of environmental pollution are air,

water, land, noise, thermal, and light pollution.
Environmental Pollution Key
Takeaways
• The types of pollution are interrelated and
indirectly can be the cause for each other.
(example if the water is contaminated and it will
be absorbed by the soil then the soil can also be
contaminated.)

• Soil pollution can cause agricultural problems

and may harm the ecosystem
Environmental Pollution Key
Takeaways
• Water pollution can cause health problems, and
endanger marine life

• Air pollution can cause health problems, and it

can indirectly cause climate change by the
release of greenhouse gases and ozone depletion
by the release of CFCs.
