In contrast to stock pollutants, for which the environment has low absorptive capacity, fund pollutants are those for which the environment has a moderate absorptive capacity. Fund pollutants do not cause damage to the environment unless the emission rate exceeds the receiving environment's

Scientists have officially deemed that the planetary boundaries safe chemical pollutant levels (novel entities) have been surpassed. 1141:. Another way is to group them together according to more specific properties, such as organic, particulate, pharmaceutical, et cetera.
