Topic 8.1: Sources of Pollution
Learning Objective: STB-3.A
Identify differences between point and nonpoint sources of pollution.
Essential Knowledge: STB-3.A.1
A point source refers to a single, identifiable source of a pollutant, such as a smokestack or waste discharge pipe.
Essential Knowledge: STB-3.A.2
Nonpoint sources of pollution are diffused and can therefore be difficult to identify, such as pesticide spraying or urban runoff.
