There are many relationships between waste, pollution, and
human activity, not just one!
In order to effectively
address your search for a relationship, you really need to narrow your topic of
discussion by defining terms more narrowly. Are you concerned with waste chemicals from
a factory causing water pollution? Are you addressing people burying garbage in
landfills and the resulting potential for pollution of runoff water above ground or
underground water resources? Are you dealing with waste materials created by nuclear
reactors and the radioactive pollution of the air, water, and land that may occur if the
security measures fail?
With any of these scenarios, human
activity is the starting point, the causing factor. Pollution occurs when the activity
creates waste that is not recycled or reused, or when byproducts of the activity are not
incorporated into the activity or product of the human activity.
