Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution.

2. Water pollution
Eutrophication • Hypoxia • Marine pollution • Marine debris • Ocean acidification • Oil spill • Ship pollution • Surface runoff etc.
3. Soil contamination
Bioremediation • Electrical resistance heating • Herbicide • Pesticide • Soil Guideline Values etc.
4. Radioactive contamination
Actinides in the environment • Environmental radioactivity • Fission product • Nuclear fallout • Plutonium in the environment etc.
5. Other pollutions
Invasive species • Light pollution • Noise pollution • Radio spectrum pollution • Visual pollution
