Abstract: Abstract Chemical pollution has become a global environmental challenge, threatening ecosystem stability and human health in many ways. The classification characteristics and environmental behaviours of chemical pollutants are discussed systematically in this paper. The sources, migration and transformation laws and ecological effects of gaseous, liquid and solid pollutants are analysed emphatically. Studies have shown that gaseous pollutants, liquid pollutants diffuse and accumulate in the aquatic environment through hydrological cycles, and solid pollutants remain in ecosystems for a long time due to their refractory characteristics. As an important tool of environmental governance, chemical pollution science popularization has constructed a knowledge system including pollutant characteristics, environmental behaviour, health risks and prevention measures through diversified subject cooperation and all-media channel integration. The influence of popular science communication on public environmental protection behaviour presents a multi-dimensional mechanism, including cognitive enhancement, emotional awakening, responsibility internalization and behaviour guidance, which finally promotes the transformation from environmental awareness to practical action.
