	Many pollutants are introduced into the environment in different ways, they have different and sometimes unique health effects and are found in different amounts. It is hard to briefly describe these for each chemical, however they can be read about on each pollutant's own page.

Many pollutants are introduced into the environment in different ways, they have different and sometimes unique health effects and are found in different amounts. It is hard to briefly describe these for each chemical, however they can be read about on each pollutant's own page. Different types of pollutants include:

*[[NOx|Nitrogen oxides]] (NOx)
*[[SOx|Sulfur oxides]] (SOx)
*[[Particulate matter]] (PM)
*[[Ground level ozone]] (O<sub>3</sub>)
*[[Volatile organic compound]]s (VOCs)
*[[Mercury]] (Hg)
*[[Peroxyacyl nitrate]]s (PANs)
*and more
