Asked by | 20 Feb, 2012, 02:16: PM
Expert Answer
A point source of pollution is a single identifiable localized source of air, water, thermal, noise or light pollution. Example - industrial plants, commercial businesses and wastewater treatment plants
Non-point source of pollution refers to a pollution source without a single point of origin. Example - Urban or agricultural runoff, automobile emissions, road dirt and grit, and runoff from parking lots
Differences:
- The point source impurity enters the water resource at an easily identifiable, distinct location though a direct route, unlikie the nonpoint source.
- Discharges from point sources of pollution often are continuous, and easier to identify and measure compared to NPS discharges.
- Point sources are somewhat easier to control than nonpoint sources.
