Resumé

Pollution can be defined as the introduction of substances or energy (heat, radiation, noise) into the environment resulting in harmful effect to the environment by humans either knowingly or unknowingly; whereas, contamination is the presence of elevated concentration of substances in the environment, food etc., which may not necessarily be harmful or a nuisance. Pollution involves contamination, but contamination need not include pollution. Or when harmful substances contaminate the environment it is called pollution, or pollution refers to the very bad condition of environment in terms of quantity and quality.  Keywords: Pollution, environment, food, contamination, living organisms Cite this Article Parul Singh.
