What Are Some Real-World Examples of Pollutant Distribution?
One example of pollutant distribution is the spread of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) like PCBs and DDT, which have been found in remote areas far from their original sources. Another example is the distribution of heavy metals such as lead and mercury, which can accumulate in aquatic ecosystems and enter the food chain. These examples highlight the complex nature of pollutant distribution and the challenges in managing it.
