چون pollution یعنی آلودگی یا همون آلایندگی و یه لغت کلی هستش. اما pollutants یعنی آلاینده ها(مواد آلوده کننده) و اگه قراره در ادامه ی مطلبتون از چند ماده ی خاص نام ببرید، باید از آلاینده استفاده کنید. جمله تون با pollutants اینجوری میشه که آب و هوا مملو از مواد آلاینده ست و این جمله علمی تر از اینه که بخواید مثل جملات روزمره بگید آب و هوا پر از آلودگی ست.
