How does land pollution relate to water pollution?

Answer 1

A land polluter can become a water polluter

A contaminant is considered a water pollutant if it is soluble in water. Consider the following scenario: suppose that someone has been applying contaminants to land and that water (rain, snow, etc.) becomes available later. In that scenario, the contaminants will be in water as water pollutants. July is a good example of this in some northern countries.

The solubility of the contaminant in water, the adsorption capacity, the soil organic carbon content, temperature, etc. are important parameters (when we talk about water and soil pollution).

Land pollution can lead to water pollution through processes such as runoff, leaching, and infiltration, where pollutants from contaminated land surfaces can be carried into water bodies, contaminating them.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
