substance that causes pollution
A substance that makes air, water, or land dirty or dangerous for people, animals, or plants.
استعمال کا انداز:
a pollutant in [air/water/soil]
عام غلطی:
Learners often confuse "pollutant" (a countable noun for the substance) with "pollution" (an uncountable noun for the general problem). For example, "There are many pollution in the river" is incorrect; it should be "There is a lot of pollution in the river" or "There are many pollutants in the river."
