Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Pollution, in one sense, is the introduction of contaminants into an environment, of whatever predetermined or agreed upon proportions or frame of reference, that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the physical systems or living organisms therein.[1] Pollution can be in the form of chemical substances, or energy such as noise, heat, or light. Pollutants can be naturally occurring substances or energies, but are considered contaminants when in excess of natural levels. Pollution is often categorized into point source and nonpoint source pollution.

In another sense, pollution is a term for any substance introduced into an ecology that causes instability and breakdown of the life or reproductive forces of said system. A substance as common and generally healthy as water can become a "pollutant" at high enough concentrations, e.g. if a human were to drink excessive amounts, leading to a burden on physical systems, a breakdown of such systems, and potentially leading to death. Water has been used in just such a way in suicide attempts and successes. In an even broader application of the concept, excessive noise "pollution" and exposure is used in military exercises to induce imbalance in the subject's mental ecology, causing malfunction and psychosis.

Pollution control is a term used in environmental management. It means the control of emissions and effluents into air, water or soil. Without pollution controls the undesirable waste products from human consumption, industrial production, agricultural activities, mining, transportation and other sources will accumulate or disperse and degrade the natural environment. In the hierarchy of controls, pollution prevention and waste minimization are more desirable than pollution control.

The major forms of pollution are listed below along with the particular pollutants relevant to each of them

1. Government Agency Warns of Naturally Occurring Asbestos as Pollutant

2. Moisturizers and Cosmetics Can Be Your Skin's Worst Pollutant
September 17, 2008

If an evil genius wished to harm the skin of women, he could not have devised a better tool than cosmetics. Rubbing more oils into the skin is the worst possible thing an acne sufferer can do. Some cosmetic ingredients are so potent that they can induce a form of acne even in women who are not otherwise genetically acne-prone. In fact, one out of every three women can expect to be affected by the condition dermatologists are now calling acne cosmetica. It is no small problem. Acne cosmetica may be affecting 30 million women in this country. While no one in the beauty industry set out to i... (read more)

3. Looking for Green Toys In All the Wrong Place
August 15, 2008

Tag:china toys,Green Toys From:http://www.buy-china-toys.com/ The assignment sounded easy enough: Go around to area stores to find “green toys” and check them out, seeing if they were of good quality and fun to play with. Figuring that eco-friendly and “green” are popular trends now, (I think even dust is now being marketed as “organic, naturally occurring particle balls”), I guessed I’d be inundated with items proclaiming to be “good for the Earth” and “pollutant-free.” I even wondered how I’d be able to narrow it down in just one article, choosing only the best, most interesting I co...

July 24, 2008

11. Stormwater Training for Construction Industry
March 16, 2008

Stormwater Training for Construction Industry Sediment and chemical pollutants from construction sites pose a major threat to the environment. If a construction site covers an area of one acre or more then the operators or owners are required by law to apply for and obtain permit coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Eliminations System (BPDES). A violation of the construction general permit regulations can result in civil or criminal penalties and imprisonment too. Hence the need for a ‘Certified Compliance Inspector of Stormwater’ for stormwater management is mandatory f... (read more)

12. Water Powered Car
March 07, 2008

For more than 100 years, the car as we know it has been using oil derivates to function. Gasoline and diesel both have significant power levels when ignited, they were relatively easy to obtain and for a long time their prices have been low enough to be widely available. However, they have one large disadvantage: the gases that result after their ignition are very pollutant and contribute to the global warming symptoms. For several years now, scientists have been trying to find alternatives to oil and oil derivates for greener, fuel-efficient cars. You could one day use water to fuel you... (read more)

13. Global Warming Warning-The End As Jesus Saw It
January 23, 2008

When you receive the Seal you will recognize global warming for what it is: the sign of the end-times. This is the end of the world coming, and you will prepare yourself accordingly. Temperatures are on the rise and have been especially climbing in the last 10 to 20 years. The main culprit is carbon dioxide, a pollutant being emitted in great amounts by countries like the United States. In fact, the US has been the world's biggest polluter with CO2 for a while now. China has recently claimed the infamous title as being another great polluter with its rising industrial growth. ... (read more)

14. Bureacratic Pollutant
December 20, 2007

Advancing technology has brought with it lots of nifty toys and tools but nothing comes for free. The trade-off is some of the worst environmental pollution in human history. Likewise, the highly structured and organised system of government that helps our lives to run so smoothly and easily (bless the wheelie bins) has brought with it huge levels of bureaucracy. Death by 1000 lashes – of red tape. Both environmental pollution and bureaucratic pollution have the same effect on their environments; they stifle diversity of species (or ideas), create a stagnant environment in whi... (read more)

15. Seaweed to Slow Soaring Temps
December 09, 2007

When you receive the Seal you begin to care for the environment of the earth. Scientists are doing this too, looking at a new idea--absorbing the pollutant carbon dioxide with seaweed. There is a global warming conference going on in Bali right now, the second weekend in December 2007, and some scientists there have unveiled their ideas that seaweed could help fight global warming. Reforestation is essential to fighting global warming. But there is a new plan which may soon be considered just as essential. That plan is to use the seas as "carbon sinks" to absorb greenhouse g...

16. Is Nuclear Power a Source of Green Energy
July 11, 2007

It is true that nuclear energy may be classed as sustainable, renewable and does not pollute the atmosphere while it is providing energy. But:- Nuclear power stations produce radioactive waste which is a pollutant that can be harmful for centuries. Fairly small amounts can be stored relatively safely but over time the amounts will increase. Then what do we do with them? Does that qualify it to be Green Energy? Storage is only relatively safe. Bury it and it could still be exposed by earthquakes, landslips, procured by terrorist organisations. Green Energy should be totally Green. ... (read more)

18. Lead Can Be Dangerous
March 05, 2007

Lead has long been recognized as a harmful environmental pollutant. There are many ways in which humans are exposed to lead and most of the time we may not even be aware of it. Airborne lead enters the body when an individual breathes in lead particles or swallows some lead dust. Until recently, the most important airborne source of lead was automobile exhaust. Since 1975, there has been a 95 percent reduction in the use of lead in gasoline due to the Environmental Protection Agency's Phase-Down Program and the replacement of older cars with newer cars that require the use of unleaded gasoline...

20. Home Sauna Advantages
January 17, 2007

There is nothing as relaxing and rejuvenating as a sauna bath at the end of a vigorous workout or when you are back home after a strenuous day at work and a more strenuous drive on traffic-jammed roads in a pollutant-laden atmosphere, feeling listless and completely worn out. Spending 45–60 minutes in the sauna can invigorate your body and spirit to such an extent that you feel you are ready to start your day all over again. Such are the magical benefits of a sauna bath. But imagine having to hit the road once again immediately after your sauna experience at a health/gym spa. That would s... (read more)
