Transboundary pollution refers to the pollution that originates in one country but has the potential to cause harm to another country’s environment, health, or natural resources. This type of pollution often crosses national borders through air or water currents, making it a complex issue for environmental regulation and international relations. Common sources include industrial discharges, agricultural runoff, and atmospheric emissions from vehicles or factories. Transboundary pollution can lead to various environmental problems, including acid rain, water contamination, and biodiversity loss, and can affect the air quality and health of populations in neighboring regions. Efforts to combat transboundary pollution typically involve international cooperation and agreements, as addressing these environmental challenges requires coordinated action and shared responsibility among affected countries.
