Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonpoint-source pollution refers to pollution that comes from diffuse sources, rather than a single identifiable point of origin. This type of pollution includes things like runoff from agricultural fields or urban areas, which can contribute to water pollution, and emissions from vehicles, which can contribute to air pollution. The other choices are not as specific in describing pollution without a central source of origin.
