pollution?

thank you, i have this worksheet that doesnt go with our books and im stumped on a bunch of questions.

You're very welcome.

The word that you are looking for is "pollution." Pollution refers to the release of harmful substances or contaminants into the environment, such as air, water, or soil. This can happen as a result of human activities, industrial processes, or natural events. Now that we have clarified the word you need, is there anything else I can assist you with?
