Abstract

Pollution is any process whether natural or man-made which leads to the harmful or objectionable increase in the amount of any factor in the environment. Frequently encountered factors are scrap, refuse, sewage, noise, and biological, radioactive or chemical substances. Pollution may arise from the accidental escape of materials or from the disposal of waste products.
