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.
Factors Affecting Water and Sediment Quality: Pollution. Pollutants can be released into the environment as gases, liquids, dissolved substances, or particulates, and can enter aquatic ecosystems by atmospheric deposition, soil erosion, seepage, runoff, or direct discharge. Pollution that can be attributed to a single source, such as a sewage outfall, is known as point source pollution. Pollution that originates from diffuse sources rather than from one discrete locationâfor example, runoff that carries pesticides into the water from agricultural fieldsâis known as non-point source pollution. Pollution can be released into the environment with different frequencies.
