Fund pollutants

Fund pollutants are those for which the environment has some absorptive capacity. Fund pollutants do not
accumulate in the environment unless the emission rate exceeds the receiving environment's absorptive
capacity (eg. carbon dioxide, which is absorbed by plants and oceans). Fund pollutants are not destroyed,
but rather converted into less harmful substances, or diluted/dispersed to non-harmful concentrations.
