Point Source Pollution

Real World Example

Imagine you're in a room with just one person who is wearing a very strong perfume. This situation is similar to point source pollution, where pollution originates from a single identifiable source, like a factory's smokestack or a drainpipe. Just as you can pinpoint the person wearing the perfume as the source of the scent in the room, point source pollution can be traced back to a specific, single source of contamination in the environment.
