Pollution is the introduction of harmful substances or contaminants into the environment, with its impact determined by factors such as the chemical composition, concentration, and persistence of the pollutants. These contaminants can be either natural or anthropogenic, with human activities--such as combustion, construction, warfare, and mining--contributing significantly to environmental degradation. Industrial operations, including chemical production, nuclear waste disposal, power generation, and heavy manufacturing, are major sources of pollution. Depending on the medium affected or the nature of the contaminants, pollution is commonly classified into categories such as air, water, soil, noise, and radioactive pollution. Effective strategies to mitigate pollution include waste recycling and reuse, waste minimization, and the implementation of pollution control technologies.
