Sources of Information on Environmental Pollution

Abstract

Environmental pollution is defined, essentially, as the discharge by human action into the environment of something undesirable, for example, a gas, a chemical, oil, a noise. So the phrase ‘environmental pollution’ covers an immense variety of types of pollutant, an immense variety of types of environment polluted, an immense variety of consequences, and an immense variety of methods of investigation, monitoring and control. The subject is vast, fragmented, incoherent and expanding. So is its literature.
