non point source pollution

What is Non-Point Source Pollution?

Non-point source pollution (NPS) is a form of pollution that does not originate from a single, identifiable source. Instead, it comes from multiple diffuse sources, making it challenging to pinpoint and control. Examples include agricultural runoff, urban stormwater, and air pollutants that settle into water bodies. This type of pollution often carries harmful chemicals and biological contaminants that can have serious health implications, including cancer.
