In water pollution, the term "contamination" is often used as a synonym, as shown by the following definition, taken in source IWATE (Glossary of water and wastewater control engineering, by the American Public Health Association): "The introduction into water of microorganisms, chemicals, wastes, or wastewater in a concentration that makes the water unfit for its intended use." However, a distinction should be made between "pollution" and "contamination": the latter implies a health danger (particularly to humans). Compare "(air) pollutant", "(air) contaminant" and "contamination". 2, record 3, English, - pollution
