Transboundary Pollution

Transboundary pollution refers to environmental pollution that originates in one country but can cross borders and affect the air, water, or land of neighboring countries. This can happen through airborne pollutants, waterborne waste, or hazardous materials transported in rivers or oceans. For example, factory emissions can drift into a neighboring country, or a river polluted in one country can harm ecosystems downstream. It highlights the interconnectedness of nations regarding environmental issues, underscoring the need for international cooperation and agreements to address pollution effectively and protect public health and ecosystems across borders.
