English translation:point source of air pollution
Explanation:
A point source of pollution is a single identifiable localized source of air, water, thermal, noise or light pollution. A point source has negligible extent, distinguishing it from other pollution source geometries. The sources are called point sources because in mathematical modelling, they can be approximated as a mathematical point to simplify analysis.

agree  Elevenít (X): The descriptions 'point-' or 'non-point'' sources are used to describe pollutants in air and water. This is different from the meaning of a pollution hot-spot, which is attempting to describe a different phenomenon
