Water pollutant refers to all sorts of chemical, physical or biological materials that may change the quality of water. Pollutants are often discharged directly into water bodies (lakes, rivers, ocean, groundwater) without being treated first, therefore generating harmful effects on any living creature that uses it.
It is possible to classify water pollutant in categories, such as:
-Organic: detergents, insecticide, petroleum, grease, fat, pesticides, oil, plastics, etc.
-Inorganic: chemical waste, ammonia, acids, heavy metals, etc.
-Microbiological: a natural form of pollution caused by microorganisms like bacterias, viruses and parasites.
