Unit 8 : Aquatic & Terrestrial Pollution : Review

Pollutants that enter the environment from a single, identifiable, confined source

• Point Source
• Nonpoint Source
• Persistant Oragnic Pollutants
• Primary Air Pollutants

Pollutants entering the environment from many places at once, diffused and can therefore be difficult to identify

• Nonpoint Source
• Point Source
• Persistant Oragnic Pollutants
• Primary Air Pollutants
