if it can create pollution, how??

butene is not a common pollutant. However, butene is one kind of hydrocarbon. unburnt hydrocarbon released from the pipe of vehicle will cause pollutant where they combine with oxides of nitrogen and the ozone molecules in atmosphere to form pollutant especially photochemical smog

Butene can create pollution if you include it as a greenhouse gas but its atmospheric lifespan is much shorter than a compound like methane. Butene is a so called IR-active molecule and although it has only the same 6 degrees of freedom (including translational and assuming that the energy distribution effectively precludes rotation around the Pi- bond) as methane it is actually a more powerful greenhouse gas. This is due to internal conversion from energy absorbed into the Pi electron network (single bond) and also due to the greater number of SP3 C-H bonds in the molecule.

Do you mean butane?
Burning butane produces CO2 and H2O. CO2 is a greenhouse gas.
From Wikipedia:
Inhaling butane can cause drowsiness, narcosis, asphyxia; cardiac arrhythmia and frostbite, which can result in instant death from asphyxiation, acute toxicity and ventricular fibrillation. Butane is the most commonly misused volatile solvent in the UK, and was the cause of 52% of solvent related deaths in 2000.[1] By spraying butane directly into the throat, the jet of fluid can cool rapidly to –20 °C by expansion, causing prolonged laryngospasm.[2] "Sudden sniffing death syndrome", first described by Bass in 1970,[3] is the most common single cause of solvent related death, resulting in 55% of known fatal cases.

all industrial hydrocarbons are bad for the environment. you dont exactly see nice forests growing near oil fields.
your local environmental protection agencies probably have instructions not for you to dump such chemicals via your home plumbing too. same for chemistry labs; there are special routes for disposal.
