How it happen water pollution?
Water pollution occurs when contaminants are released into the water body such as the ocean or rivers. The water mainly occurs when we discharged untreated sewage or waste into the water. The main causes of water pollution are industrial wastes, house hold waste and chemicals. The used water of a community is called waste water or sewage. If it is not treated before being discharged into waterways, serious pollution is the result. Water pollution also occurs when rain water runoff from urban and industrial areas and from agricultural land and mining operations makes its way back to receiving waters (river, lake or ocean) and into the ground.
How do pollutants affect the properties of water?

Could illegal dumping be either a point or non-point source of water pollution in North Carolina?
Yes, it could. Here's the explanation straight from Study Island.Point source pollution occurs when harmful substances are added directly to a body of water. Non-point source pollution occurs when harmful substances enter water indirectly through the environment. Illegal dumping(unsafe disposal of pollutants) can be either a point or non-point source of pollution.
What is a mixture of chemicals that occurs as a haze in the atmosphere?
