Visual pollution is an aesthetic issue and refers to the impacts of pollution that impair one's ability to enjoy a pleasant view . Visual pollution disturbs the visual areas of people by creating harmful changes in the natural environment. The most consistently recognized symptom of Visual Pollution is an excess of out of home   advertisements with contrasting colors and content, which create an oversaturation of anthropogenic visual information within a landscape . Visual Pollution is a relatively new concept in the international literature and as such, is the subject of active discussion. Generally, is defined as the compounded effect of disorder, and excess of various objects and graphics in a landscape. Billboards, storage of trash, antennas, electric wires, buildings, and automobiles are often considered visual pollution. An overcrowding of an area causes visual pollution. Visual pollution is defined as the whole of irregular formations, which are mostly found in nature . Effects of exposure to visual pollution include distraction, eye fatigue, decreases in opinion diversity, and loss of identity. It has also been shown to increase biological stress responses and impair balance.  Sources Artificial tree to hide a mobile phone base station
Visual pollution is the visible deterioration and negative aesthetic quality of the natural and human-made landscapes around us. It refers to the impacts pollution has in impairing the quality of the landscape and is formed from compounding sources of pollution to create it . Visual pollution disturbs the functionality and enjoyment of a given area, limiting the ability for the wider ecological system, from humans to animals, to prosper and thrive within it from disruption to natural and human-made habitats. Although visual pollution can be caused by natural sources (e.g. wildfires) the predominate cause comes from human sources as the impact of humanity upon Earth has reached global devastation. As such, visual pollution is not considered a primary source of pollution, but as a secondary symptom of intersecting pollution sources. Its secondary nature and subjective aspect sometimes makes it difficult to measure and engage with (e.g. within quantitative figures for policymakers), however frameworks for measurement have been established and include public opinion polling and surveys, visual comparison, spacial metrics, to ethnographic work. Visual pollution can manifest across levels of analysis, from micro instances that effect the individual to macro issues that impact society as a whole. Instances of visual pollution can take the form of plastic bags stuck in trees, advertisements with contrasting colors and content, which create an oversaturation of anthropogenic visual information within a landscape , to community-wide impacts of overcrowding, overhead power lines, or congestion. Poor urban planning and irregular built-up enviroments contrasting with natural spaces that create alienating landscapes . The effects of visual pollution have primary symptoms, such as distraction, eye fatigue, decreases in opinion diversity, and loss of identity. It has also been shown to increase biological stress responses and impair balance. As a secondary source of pollution, these also compound with the impact of its primary source such as light or noise pollution that can create multi-layered public health concerns and crisis.
