To be considered a source of water pollution, the source must include a chemical is false.

Explanation:

The water pollution may be caused either by chemicals or waste materials that doesn’t contain chemicals such as domestic wastes, organic compounds, heavy metals etc. The life on Earth mostly relies on water and air, and if these two gets polluted; the results will be dangerous.

Around 70% of the planet is covered with water and the present state of its purity is a matter of a serious thought. Looking over various pollutants, only chemical wastes are not responsible to pollute the water.

Instead, there is range of elements from plastic scraps to chemical wastes that comes from either the non-point sources or the point sources. There are organic waste materials, heavy metals, volcanic eruptions, Tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. are also responsible to contaminate water and affect the amphibians as well as humans.
