Environmental pollution takes place when the environment cannot process on time or has exceeded its natural ability to handle toxic substances released as a result of human activities. without any structural or functional damage to its system. On the other hand, the environment becomes polluted if humans do not know how to decompose these pollutants artificially. Pollutants can persist for many years during which nature will attempt to decompose them. in worst cases, it may take as long as thousands of years before they can be completely decomposed naturally. - Environmental pollution takes place when the environment cannot process on time or has exceeded its natural ability to handle toxic substances released as a result of human activities. without any structural or functional damage to its system.
