Sustainability achievements and tips from UCI

Stormwater pollution prevention
|
|
|
Stormwater pollution occurs when rainwater washes over surfaces and collects various contaminants, eventually draining into nearby bodies of water. Pollutants such as oil, chemicals, trash and pet waste can harm local ecosystems and human health. Simple steps, such as disposing of trash in designated bins, cleaning up after pets and maintaining vehicles to prevent oil leaks, can significantly reduce pollution. For more information, visit UCI’s stormwater management site.
