Pollution
This Nuffield Working with Science unit aimed to help students to recognise examples of pollution in their own neighbourhood and find out its origins. Students learn to appreciate that the problems of preventing pollution are very complex and that important conflicting interests may be involved. Students also find out about the ways in which individual citizens can play a part in reducing pollution.
Guidance for this topic appears in the Tutors’ Handbook.
