Turning air, water, and land into toxic substances at a global level. This occurs when chemicals, toxins, particulate matter, biological organisms, nutrients, radiation etc are released in large enough amounts to create an unsafe environment in which life forms get sick or poisoned. People can get sick directly from even small amounts of pollution such as mercury, or they can indirectly such as from the harmful effects of solar radiation when the ozone has been removed by a chemical bath. Nuclear fallout from power plants or weapons can have significant effects even when small amounts are released.
