Point—source pollution is generally a single element caused by one main source. An industrial spill into a river would be an example of point—source pollution. Alternatively‚ nonpoint—source pollution is the result of numerous causes of contaminants that create pollution. These pollutants can travel great distances in the form of runoff or through storm drains. Surface water pollution is the most recognizable form of water contamination. This is the pollution that can be visibly seen floating on

Britannica 2015). Climate change is the alterations the climate goes through due to a number of factors. These factors can be described as natural or anthropogenic (“Climate Change” Britannica 2015). Natural drivers of climate change are as a result of natural processes such as changes in the solar activity‚ volcanic activity or the Earth’s orbit. Anthropogenic factors affecting climate change refers to the impact that human activity has on climate change‚ particularly do to the release of greenhouse gasses

These sources can be divided into two major categories which are: Anthropogenic Sources and Natural Sources. Anthropogenic Sources are the human activities which makes the pollutions in to the atmosphere mostly related to burning different kind of fuel whether they are stationary sources or mobile sources. For example‚ emission fuel from factories‚ chemicals‚ waste deposition in landfills
