What is visual pollution?

Visual pollution refers to the presence of unsightly or visually intrusive elements in the environment that negatively impact the aesthetic quality of a particular area. It includes any man-made objects or structures that are considered unattractive, such as billboards, graffiti, litter, overhead power lines, excessive signage, and poorly maintained buildings. Visual pollution can disrupt the natural beauty of landscapes, urban areas, and scenic views, leading to a decrease in the overall quality of the visual environment.
