I've got a simple question and it shouldn't be any problem...
What is the difference between POLUTTION and CONTAMINATION.
I know there is the slight difference between them, but unfortunately it has slipped my mind.
Contaminated to w moim odczuciu bardziej 'skażony', polluted- zanieczyszczony.

Contamination involves the presence of foreign and unwanted matter that enters or comes into contact with something.
Pollution happens when something that must be clean or pure is contaminated so that the cleanness is gone. You might say that pollution is a result of contamination that is complete and destroys the required purity or cleanness.

That's off-putting.
