environmental pollutants

Environmental pollutants are harmful substances released into the air, water, or soil, often as a result of human activities like industry, transportation, and agriculture. They can come in various forms, such as chemicals, heavy metals, or biological agents. These pollutants can contaminate natural resources, harm ecosystems, and pose health risks to humans, including respiratory issues, allergies, and other illnesses. Managing and reducing pollutants is essential to protecting the environment and public health, involving regulations, cleaner technologies, and sustainable practices to minimize their release and impact.
