Description: Pollution refers to the introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment, causing adverse effects on ecosystems and human health. This phenomenon can manifest in various forms, including air, water, and soil pollution, and can result from human activities such as industrialization, fossil fuel use, and intensive agriculture. Pollution not only affects environmental quality but also has significant repercussions on public health, contributing to respiratory, cardiovascular, and other health issues. Additionally, pollution can disrupt ecosystems, leading to biodiversity loss and habitat degradation. The growing concern over pollution has led to a more conscious approach towards sustainability, driving the search for clean technologies and more responsible practices that minimize environmental impact. In this context, pollution becomes a central theme in the debate on sustainable development, where the aim is to balance economic progress with the protection of the environment and the health of future generations.
