- Summary
- "Historically, the development of civilization has upset much of the earth's ecosystem leading to air, land, and water pollution. The author defines pollution as the introduction of a foreign substance into an ecosystem via air, land or water. This book delves into issues that effect the everyday lives of people who come in contact with these hazards.
- By examining these issues, this body of work aims to stimulate debate and offer solutions to the ever-growing threat to the environment and humanity."--BOOK JACKET.
