Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change.

Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution.

The Protocol to the 1979 Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution Concerning the Control of Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds or Their Transboundary Fluxes is an agreement to provide for the control and reduction of emissions of volatile organic compounds in order to reduce their transboundary fluxes so as to protect human health and the environment from adverse effects.

Pollution is the prime example most economists think of when discussing externalities.

The uniqueness of the Seychelles ' ecology is reflected in the US $ 1. 8 million project of the Global Environment Trust Fund of the World Bank ( see Glossary ) entitled Biodiversity Conservation and Marine Pollution Abatement, that began in 1993.

Brest is also an important research centre, mainly focused on the sea, with among others the largest Ifremer ( French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea ) centre, le Cedre ( Centre of Documentation, Research and Experimentation on Accidental Water Pollution ) and the French Polar Institute.

Pollution of Lake Victoria is mainly due to discharge of raw sewage into the lake, dumping of domestic and industrial waste, and fertiliser and chemicals from farms.

Starting in 1999, the Ukrainian government has been collecting an ecological tax, officially known as Environmental Pollution Fee (), which is collected from all polluting entities, whether it's one-time or ongoing pollution and regardless of whether the polluting act was legal or illegal at the time.

Marpol 73 / 78 is the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution From Ships, 1973 as modified by the Protocol of 1978.

In the United States, for example, the relevant implementation legislation is the Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships.
