the pollution word

[Michael Risk]

Hi Gene.

I think this may be another semantic problem.

Friend of mine, one of the finest environmental geochemists to walk the
earth, had couple simple definitions. (Yeah, I know, we all hate
definitions.)

Contamination is when you can measure it.

Pollution is when it hurts something.

Happy Hogmanay.
