pollutant transport

Pollutant transport refers to how contaminants move through the environment, such as air, water, or soil. This movement occurs through processes like wind, water currents, or diffusion, spreading pollutants away from their original source. Factors like wind speed, water flow, and the physical and chemical nature of the pollutant influence how quickly and far it travels. Understanding this helps us predict environmental impact and develop strategies to reduce pollution's spread and effects.
