👉 Effluency is a term used in environmental science and engineering to describe the amount of pollutants or other substances that are released into an environment. It refers to the concentration of these substances in the air, water, soil, or any other form of liquid or solid material. The term "effluency" was first introduced by John Dewey in his work on environmental ethics, and it has since been used in a variety of contexts throughout history and science.
