Contamination
La contaminación puede ser una sustancia química, energía (como calor, luz o sonido) e incluso genes que producen la degradación del medio ambiente.
Hay muchas formas de combatirla y normalmente está ligada a la producción industrial y al modo de vida del ser humano (transporte, tratamiento de desechos, etc.), por lo que muchas instituciones y organismos intentan luchar contra ella estableciendo políticas de control de estos hábitos.
