The production and use of paper has a number of adverse effects on the environment which are known collectively as paper pollution. Pulp mills contribute to air, water and land pollution. Discarded paper is a major component of many landfill sites, accounting for about 35 percent by weight of municipal solid waste (before recycling). Even paper recycling can be a source of pollution due to the sludge produced during de-inking.
The acidity of the surrounding environment can also affect the pH of water. This is most obvious near mining areas, but the effect can also occur naturally. Acid runoff depletes the waterâs alkalinity and lowers pH below optimum levels. This may be tolerable for some aquatic species (such as frogs) but not for most fish.
