code of conduct
行动守则， 管理法典

污染：使污染的行为或过程
2.The state of being contaminated.
被污染：被污染的状态
3.One that contaminates.

pollution
1.The act or process of polluting or the state of being polluted, especially the contamination of soil, water, or the atmosphere by the discharge of harmful substances.
污染：造成污染的行为或过程或被污染的状态，尤指因为排放有害物质而造成的对土壤、水或大气的污染
2.Something that pollutes; a pollutant or a group of pollutants:
污染，污染物：造成污染的东西；一种或一组污染性物质

所以除了都可以做“污染物”讲，contamination更多的强调“(发生污染的)行为、过程、状态”，而pollution则有特指。
