No, because the volcano is not polluting. It's part of a natural process. The earth is tuned to deal with such things. If this was all that was happening, we'd be in fine shape.
Humans are polluting when they fail to conserve, and when they buy gas-guzzlers, indulge in useless packaging and other things that emit gases into the atmosphere. All this extra pollution is causing global warming and the weather changes being seen all over the world. We are driving ourselves to extinction.

First of all, the 3rd and 4th people to answer this question need to look up the definition of "pollute". Volcanoes definitely pollute.
However, it would depend on the pollutant you're talking about and the time frame. One (average sized) volcano (eruption) vs. all the pollution from man kind (ever)? People definitely win that one. I don't know what the stats are, but you need to be more specific in your question to get the correct answer.
Sorry. I work with air pollution every day.

i agree with Wide Awake.
its does not pollute because its a natural process by which the earth gets rid of its heat and extra stuff. humans pollute way too much by using fossil fuels and all...
