There are many types of pollutants, and they are classified by the parts of the environment they pollute. The most common are water pollutants and air pollutants.
The teo most common pollutants that mix with water in the air are sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) These pollutants create acids with water. The combination is known as Acid Rain or Acid Precipitation.

Pollutants, toxic materials and chemicals
Biological Decomposition of Environmental Pollutants-Biodegradable Pollutants such as plastic bags. Some of the most notable air pollutants are sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and airborne particles, with radioactive pollutants probably among the most destructive ones (specifically when produced by nuclear explosions). Our Air Pollutants article provides a clear overview of sources and effects of these air pollutants. Water pollutants include insecticides and herbicides, food processing waste, pollutants from livestock operations, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals, chemical waste and others. Some soil pollutants are: hydrocarbons, solvents and heavy metals.

Filtration
Down the drain to the main line going out of your house to the city sewer line. That line or pipe takes it to a treatment plant where the solids are removed and the water treated and filtered and most of the pollutants are removed. Then the water is put into a stream or river and sent on it's way to the next town downstream and eventually to the ocean. If you have a septic tank then it is a short trip out of the house to the tank in the back yard and then into a leach field that lets the water seep into the ground.
Some examples of pollutants include carbon monoxide (carbon emissions into the air) and lead emissions into water sources. Most of the lead and metallic substances that end up in the river streams are from industrial processes.
Not until they have removed most of the water.
