“Pollution” is any degradation of a larger environment by substances introduced to it externally.

Explanation:

Air pollution is either by particulate matter or gaseous compounds. Water pollution is usually by either solid or liquid compounds that are not a normal part of the water system, or at levels greatly exceeding the normal levels of those compounds in a water system. In all cases pollutants cause adverse effects.
