Hi Class Cleaning believes that “all species” have the right to unpolluted air, water and soils, in order to maintain the health of ecosystems.

1. Definition

1.1 Pollution is the release into the environment of a substance or material in any form) which has an adverse effect on:
* The ability of the environment to sustain itself in the long and short term;
* The health of species and ecosystems, including humans;
* The aesthetic (i.e. visual olfactory and aural) quality of the environment.
1.2 Pollution may be released into the environment from either a specific point source or from a diffuse source.
An example of point source pollution is an ocean outfall sewage system or an industrial smoke stack. Diffuse source pollution includes agricultural chemicals in runoff and ground water seepage. Point source pollution is easier to monitor and control than diffuse source pollution.
1.3 All ecosystems are interrelated.
A holistic approach to pollution prevention must consider the interrelationships between biological systems and air, water and soils. Pollution of one medium cannot be viewed in isolation from the other media. e.g acid rain pollution affects species and ecosystems, water quality, air quality and soils.
1.4 A precautionary approach should apply to pollution prevention, so that when doubt exist about the impact of a particular substance on the environment or on human health, policy and practice should be framed on the basis of ensuring safety rather than risk significant and possibly irreversible damage.
1.5 The adverse effects of pollution are not restricted by the human barriers of state or national boundaries.
