Abstract

Biological pollution is one of the most significant categories within the field of pollution; however, due to its interdisciplinary nature, it is less addressed by students and researchers in the environmental sciences in Iran. This article aims to explain and review biological pollution, a topic that serves as a bridge between the fields of medicine, microbiology, and environmental science.
