Refers to both artificial and natural materials that are created, consumed, and discarded in an unsustainable manner

Harmful elements which cause pollution

life can be harmed when exposed to these materials, and the effects of them on humans and plants are well known

They are emitted directly into the environment

They are formed from primary pollutants and external factors

It is the introduction of harmful chemicals into the atmosphere

It is air pollution which reduces visibility

Shanghai smog, The great smog of London (1952)

They are defined as chemicals to which an organism is exposed that are extrinsic to the normal metabolism of that organism

poly aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), persistent organic pollutants (POPs)

They are pollutants that persist in the environment, they are capable of long range transportation, bioaccumulation, in human and animals, and biomagnifications in food chain

It refers to the transport by the wind of air pollutants or their precursors from the areas where they were emitted to other locations at downwind distances of 100 km or more

It refers to any uncontrolled release of crude oil, gasoline, fuels, or other oil by-products into the environment

It is the process of reducing or eliminating the release of pollutants into the environment
