If the only source of the gasoline is that one gas station, then it is point pollution. Nonpoint pollution sources can include leaking vehicles, but a large spill is more than likely from the gasoline station. .

Relate pollution to contamination by unwanted substances?
Pollution is any unwanted substance being where it should not be, contaminating the substance. An example could be gasoline spilled on the concrete surface at a gas station. You wanted the gas to go into the fuel tank but some spilled. The spilled gas is a contaminant, not wanted on the concrete. It must be cleaned up before it spreads and gets into the soil or a storm drain and causes more problems.
