What's the difference between pollutant and polluter?
Pollutant
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) The biggest single source of air pollution is coal-fired power stations and China, with its large population and heavy reliance on coal power, provides $2.3tn of the annual subsidies.
(2) Several studies have found that pollution and climate change disproportionately affect the poor , which means boosting clean energy generation and cutting pollution could also simultaneously reduce global inequality .
(3) The effect of airborne pollution, especially nickel, from Kola has been studied in 10,612 persons who participated in a cardiovascular screening survey in Finnmark in 1974-75.
(4) The mayor of London had said in a Twitter exchange in July that it was a “ludicrous urban myth” that Britain’s premier shopping street was one of the world’s most polluted thoroughfares, saying that the capital’s air quality was “better than Paris and other European cities”.
(5) N-heterocyclic aromatics are environmentally important carcinogenic pollutants produced by incomplete combustion of organic material.
(6) Among environmental pollutants, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD; dioxin) is one of the most potent tumor promoters and teratogens known.
(7) A grassed roof, solar panels to provide hot water, a small lake to catch rainwater which is then recycled, timber cladding for insulation ... even the pitch and floodlights are "deliberately positioned below the level of the surrounding terrain in order to reduce noise and light pollution for the neighbouring population".
(8) Mineral fibers represent the greatest cause--after cigarette smoke--of respiratory cancer due to air pollutants.
(9) Recognition, evaluation and control of hazards were carried out in a typical case where chromium was the major pollutant.
(10) The UK, France and Germany have been accused of hypocrisy for lobbying behind the scenes to keep outmoded car tests for carbon emissions, but later publicly calling for a European investigation into Volkswagen’s rigging of car air pollution tests .
(11) Under the auspices of the US-USSR agreement for cooperative research in environmental health, Soviet methods for setting and enforcing standards for environmental pollutants were observed.
(12) Results of the determinations indicated that protective leather gloves contained considerable content of chromium, and chromium-free machine oils and lubricants were polluted with chromium's minute quantities as the oils and lubrications were being used.
(13) Study of the environmental pollution (ambient air, drinking water, food and fodder) in southern Ukraine industrial region and study of congenital developmental defects were carried out.
(14) The metabolism of the environmental pollutant and suspected human carcinogen, cyclopenta[cd]pyrene (CPP), was investigated.
(15) A variety of ecological processes are affected and altered by air pollution.
(16) However, indoor air pollution is estimated to have caused or contributed to 99,000 deaths across Europe in 2012, the report states.
(17) Since some genotoxic metals are diffused in the environment and are often sequestered as insoluble precipitates in water sediments and sludges, the introduction of NTA is likely to increase the risk of environmental pollution because of its ability to solubilize and make those metals reactive.
(18) Because surface water pollution appears to be important it is proposed that headwalls and drainage aprons be built around unprotected sources.
(19) Several reports have suggested that staphylococci, and especially Staphylococcus aureus, are useful indicators of pollution of recreational waters.
(20) Reasonable short-term objectives include the reduction of tobacco use (and alcohol abuse), the control of exposure to carcinogens in the workplace, as well as the reduction of air pollution in the general environment.
