Environmental pollutant means :
Any solid, liquid or gaseous substances present in such concentration as may be or tend to be injurious to environment
Under Sec. 2(b) of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, an 'environmental pollutant' means any solid, liquid or gaseous substance present in such concentration as may be, or tend to be, injurious to environment.
The definition is deliberately wide: it covers all three states of matter and also substances that merely tend to be injurious. Options confining it to solid only, liquid only or gaseous only are therefore too narrow.
Hence, the answer is: any solid, liquid or gaseous substances present in such concentration as may be or tend to be injurious to environment.
