What Types of Pollution Are Common at Public Events?

Several types of pollution can be prevalent at public events:

1. Litter and Waste: Disposable items such as plastic cups, food wrappers, and promotional materials can accumulate, leading to significant waste.
2. Air Pollution: Increased vehicle emissions from attendees traveling to the event and generators used on-site can contribute to poor air quality.
3. Noise Pollution: Loudspeakers, concerts, and crowds can create substantial noise levels, impacting local communities and wildlife.
4. Water Pollution: Improper disposal of waste and runoff from event sites can contaminate nearby water bodies.
