Question

Which of the following would most likely be considered nonpoint source pollution?

Animal waste from a local horse farm seeping into the ground

Increased turbidity from erosion

A car repair shop dumping used oil in the ground

A leaky underground oil tank

Answer 1

Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution, unlike pollution from industrial and sewage treatment plants, comes from many diffuse sources.

Answer 2

NPS pollution is caused by rainfall or snowmelt moving over and through the ground. As the runoff moves, it picks up and carries away natural and human-made pollutants, finally depositing them into lakes, rivers, wetlands, coastal waters, and even our underground sources of drinking water.

Answer 3

so it would be the last one??
