Description: "Historically, the development of civilization has upset much of the earth's ecosystem leading to air, land, and water pollution. The author defines pollution as the introduction of a foreign substance into an ecosystem via air, land or water. This book delves into issues that effect the everyday lives of people who come in contact with these hazards.

By examining these issues, this body of work aims to stimulate debate and offer solutions to the ever-growing threat to the environment and humanity."--BOOK JACKET.
