Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy , such as noise, heat, or light. Pollutants, the elements of pollution, can be foreign substances or energies, or naturally occurring; when naturally occurring, they are considered contaminants when they exceed natural levels. Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution . The Blacksmith Institute issues annually a list of the world's worst polluted places.

An unfortunate side affect of growth and development is increased levels of "light pollution" light which doesn't serve its intended purpose of providing safety and convenience. Instead, it spills outward and upward from poorly designed or inefficient light fixtures, trespassing on surrounding properties and polluting the skies. "Light pollution" includes:

6. Manchester Astronomical Society Forthcoming Events A short page explaining how lighting can be made to reduce the astronomical effects of pollution by Manchester Astronomical Society. http://www.mikeoates.org/mas/light_pollution.htm

A Solution for the Problem of Light Pollution by Ashley Knowles In association with the Manchester Astronomical Society Introduction As we approach the millenium, most amateur astronomers are acutely aware of the problems of light pollution and the difficulties associated with observing the night sky in heavily populated areas. They also probably feel that things will only get worse. Light pollution is a rather all-encompassing expression describing the light which hinders observation. It has several sources, including natural ones such as the light generated by the bombardment of the upper atmosphere by solar radiation. However, the most pervasive source of light pollution is the glare associated with the street lighting in built up areas. Short of moving house, there is little the individual urban amateur astronomer can do to eliminate this problem. There is some hope, however. Filtering the light pollution and viewing only the wavelengths of light of interest is one way of achieving good results. A recent lecture at Manchester Astronomical Society illustrated the manufacturing technology which is used to make filters to reject the unwanted light. This brief paper describes the efforts under way in Manchester to make routine light pollution filtering a realistic goal.

Air Pollution When people think about air pollution, they usually think about smog, acid rain, CFC's, and other forms of outdoor air pollution. But did you know that air pollution also can exist inside homes and other buildings? It can, and every year, the health of many people is affected by chemical substances present in the air within buildings. A great deal of research on pollution is being conducted at laboratories and universities. The goals of the research are to find solutions and to educate the public about the problem. Two places where this type of work is being done are LBNL and the University of California, Berkeley Let's take a closer look at the various types of air pollution , the effects that they have on people, and what is being (or not being) done to correct the problem.

11. Pollution pollution. pollution is defined as the release of substances into the environment that change it for the worse. Most pollution is the result of human activity. http://www.smithlifescience.com/Pollution.htm

Pollution Pollution is defined as the release of substances into the environment that change it for the worse. Most pollution is the result of human activity. In particular, the technology that we depend on to create material goods and increase our quality of life often releases pollutants simultaneously. Pollution is typically classified into three categories based upon the medium that is impacted: air, land and water. Each of these types of pollution is related to the other. For instance, chemicals released as a gas from a coal-burning electric generator is a form of air pollution. However, as rain traps these chemicals and falls to the ground, the impact is to make the water more acidic. Acid rain collects in bodies of water (water pollution) and harms plant and animal life. Acid rain can also change the chemistry of the soil. Though these changes are often not dramatic enough to be considered land pollution, the change can hurt plants that depend upon a stable pH. Air Pollution The air we breathe is made up of gaseous nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%) with trace amounts of other gases, vaporized liquids, and tiny particles of solids. Only 0.035% of the air is carbon dioxide. Studies have detected over 2500 additional chemicals in urban air. Most of the materials that are considered air pollutants come from cars, trucks, factories, cigarettes, cleaning materials, fumes and fibers from synthetic materials, and other products of human activity. Repeated exposure to air pollutants can cause damage to the lungs, green plants, buildings, metals, and other materials.

More Information on NPS Pollution How to Prevent Nonpoint Source Pollution Water Conservation Fact Sheets on Nonpoint Source Pollution Motor oil is one source of nonpoint source pollution. (Photo courtesy of NOAA) What is nonpoint source pollution? Nonpoint source pollution generally results from land runoff, precipitation, atmospheric deposition, drainage, seepage or hydrologic modification. The term "nonpoint source" is defined to mean any source of water pollution that does not meet the legal definition of "point source" in section 502(14) of the Clean Water Act. That definition states: The term "point source" means any discernible, confined and discrete conveyance, including but not limited to any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, discrete fissure, container, rolling stock, concentrated animal feeding operation, or vessel or other floating craft, from which pollutants are or may be discharged. This term does not include agricultural storm water discharges and return flows from irrigated agriculture. Unlike pollution from industrial and sewage treatment plants, nonpoint source (NPS) pollution comes from many diffuse sources. NPS pollution is caused by rainfall or snowmelt moving over and through the ground. As the runoff moves, it picks up and carries away natural and human-made pollutants, finally depositing them into lakes, rivers, wetlands, coastal waters and ground waters.

Ellen Franzen, Portland, OR A spate of recent studies suggests that pollution can indeed affect the intelligence of children of all ages (even those still in utero). The primary culprit is smog—ground level pollution comprised of vehicle and smokestack emissions that can form a dense haze on and near busy roadways. While smog has long been known to be a health hazard for asthmatics, heart patients and the elderly, only recently have we begun to learn about its unique effects on our young people. A 2007 Harvard School of Public Health study found that children between the ages of eight and 11 living and attending school in areas of Boston with higher levels of traffic pollutants scored an average of 3.7 points lower on IQ tests than children living in less polluted areas. “The effect of pollution on intelligence was similar to that seen in children whose mothers smoked 10 cigarettes a day while pregnant, or in kids who have been exposed to lead,” reports Dr. Shakira Franco Suglia, lead author of the study.
