Pollution pathways, emanating from infrastructure development and environmental degradation, present critical challenges for environmental conservation and sustainable development. Understanding these pathways and their ecological impacts is essential for policymakers, planners, and developers to implement effective mitigation measures. This article explores the multifaceted nature of pollution pathways, examining their intersections with various human activities such as industrial emissions, transportation networks, waste management systems, and urban development. The resulting release of contaminants into the air, water, and soil poses significant threats to ecosystems, human health, and the integrity of the natural environment. By adopting integrated planning approaches, engaging stakeholders, and enforcing robust regulations, we can minimize the adverse effects of pollution pathways on ecosystems and ensure that infrastructure development supports environmental sustainability and the well-being of future generations.
