icon To-do list for Pollution: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2022年03月26日
Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
- Expand : *Expand lead.
- Look at using summary style.
- Biological background should precede 'prehistory'. Anologues of pollution in other species are discussed in the chapter on pollution in Townsend, Begon and Harper's Essentials of Ecology, for example. For a very early case, consider the formation of oxygen in the ocean and atmosphere, which James Walker (1986) describes as "the most severe pollution episode in the history of the earth".
- Describe some common sources of agricultural pollution and industrial pollution
- Explain why countries don't follow WHO guidelines e.g. new air pollution levels

Slight problem
[edit ]On the panel that says, "Part of a series on Pollution" the word "pollution" doesn't appear unless you highlight it, but this may be just a problem for me. Spiileer (talk) 20:33, 26 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- @Spiileer. I have the same problem, but only if I look at the article in this article. People at WP:village pump (technical) might be able to help us. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 06:38, 27 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
What happens the plastic
[edit ]About plastic ~2026-49326-6 (talk) 06:15, 23 January 2026 (UTC) [reply ]
- There are two paragraphs in the article on this. In gerenal, plastic takes ages to decompose, so that it accumulates in the environment. Did you want to suggest a change to the article? —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:14, 23 January 2026 (UTC) [reply ]
