Biological pollution refers to the introduction of harmful, non-native organisms into an environment by human activity. Some common types of biological pollutants include bacteria, viruses, insects, and pollen. These pathogens can spread diseases in humans and animals. Sources of biological pollution include sewage, contaminated air systems, animal droppings, and the introduction of invasive species. To reduce biological pollution, it is important to properly clean humidifiers, limit exposure to allergy-causing materials, control invasive species, get vaccinated, and prevent the spread of pathogens.
