Astronomy in all wavelengths is not the only science to suffer from various causes of pollution. Sites in which geophysical research is being conducted are also in danger due to a variety of external causes. Among them, the following are described and discussed in addition to electromagnetic nuisances that are common to geophysicists and astronomers: heat production, magnetic disturbances, artificial vibrations in seismic observatories, chemical pollution in atmospheric studies, signal jamming, vandalism and site modifications around automatic stations.
