pollution: the introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment
contamination: The presence of extraneous, especially infectious, material that renders a substance or preparation impure or harmful
Contamination does not necessarily have to be introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment.
For example, you can say:
The lab is contaminated with radioactive substance.
But you wouldn't say:
The lab is polluted with radioactive substance.
