A contaminant is something that does not belong. Contamination is the presence of one or more contaminants.
Invisible contamination refers to contaminants that cannot be seen with the naked eye, such as bacteria or viruses. Visible contamination, on the other hand, is contamination that can be seen, like dirt or mold. Both types of contamination can pose health risks if not properly addressed.
If refering to being clean, sterilization is preventing infection and disinfection is removing an existing contamination.
An exposure consist of the potential financial effect of an event multiplied by its probability of occurrence and risk is with probability of occurrence. Thus an exposure is a risk times its financial consequences.
No difference, cross-contamination is when you cut raw meat on a surface and then cut fresh vegetables on the same surface without properly cleaning and /or sanitizing. Cross contact isn't real technical term - but it would mean the same thing.
contamination is when germs enter the water and pollution of water is when liquid waste or rubbish are thrown in the water.

The DD1971 form is used to report exposure or contamination by ABC - atomic, biological or chemical agents.
Pollution is contamination where the end-use is directly affected.
My teachers in the University told me that the difference between these two concepts deals with the environment's capability to "absorve" or "support" an agent.In the case of contamination it could be support by the environment without stoping the general chemical cycles and life cycles. We use pollution refering to those agents or activities that produce highly damage in the environment and damage the entire ecosystem drastically.
