Which of the following is a point source of water quality degradation?

Pharmaceutical manufacturer discharges
Stormwater
Agricultural runoff
Erosion-related sediment

Explanation

Answer: A - Pharmaceutical manufacturing waste is a point source of water quality degradation. Fortunately, the EPA’s strict guidelines and monitoring have dramatically reduced the quantity of this type of waste, as well as other point source pollutants, entering the water systems. The other three responses all reflect nonpoint sources of water quality degradation.
