What is the difference between point and nonpoint sources of pollution?

the difference is that a point source pollution comes from a specific site & the non-point source pollution comes from many sources rather than a single specific site. or point source pollution is pollution that comes from a known and specific location. Nonpoint source pollution is pollution that does not have a specific point of orign....................:-)Hisme John


A specific source of pollution that can be identified?

An example of a specific source of pollution is factory emissions from industrial processes, such as burning fossil fuels or releasing harmful chemicals into the air or water.


What is an example of a non-point water pollution?

An example of a non-point source water pollution is agricultural runoff, where pesticides and fertilizers are washed into nearby water bodies by rain or irrigation. This type of pollution comes from diffuse sources and is challenging to regulate and control compared to point source pollution from specific industrial outlets.

How many pullotion?

It seems like there might be a typo in your question about "pullotion." If you meant "pollution," it encompasses various types such as air, water, soil, and noise pollution, each measured in different ways. The extent of pollution varies by location and can be quantified in terms of pollutants released, such as carbon dioxide emissions or levels of contaminants in water bodies. If you have a specific type of pollution or area in mind, please clarify for a more detailed response.
