distribution of pollutants

How Do Pollutants Spread Through the Environment?

Pollutants can spread through the environment via several mechanisms. Airborne pollutants can be transported over long distances by winds. Waterborne pollutants often disperse through rivers, lakes, and oceans. Soil contamination can occur through both natural processes and human activities. The bioaccumulation of pollutants in plants and animals further facilitates their distribution across trophic levels.
