How are air and water pollution different?
Air pollution moves fast, water pollution does not (especially groundwater pollution).
Air pollutants, whether gaseous or particulate, travel quickly. Particulate matter eventually settles, which means that it may contaminate water later on. Gases, on the other hand, stay in the atmosphere for a very long time (e.g., continuously rising carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere).
Eight categories of water contaminants can be distinguished (e.g., thermal pollution, sediment pollution, and decomposing organic material). Rivers are only able to clean up biodegradable water pollutants on their own if and when their capacity for assimilation is unaffected. Groundwater is more difficult to clean up when it is polluted than rivers because it moves more slowly than rivers and is also poorly oxygenated.
Water and air pollution is caused by a number of other factors.

Air pollution refers to the contamination of the air by harmful substances, such as gases, particulate matter, and chemicals, which can adversely affect human health and the environment. Water pollution, on the other hand, involves the contamination of water bodies, such as rivers, lakes, and oceans, by pollutants such as chemicals, waste, and toxins. While both types of pollution can have serious consequences for human health and the environment, they occur in different mediums and can result from different sources and activities.

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.
