Pollution Insurance
One of the most common exclusions to a general liability policy is Pollution. The standard ISO policy contains an absolute pollution liability exclusion. Contractors and Painters will also Lead Paint and Asbestos exclusions.
Pollution contamination and clean up costs can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most businesses have a pollution exposure and don't realize. Worse than that are the businesses that have a pollution exposure and don't insure it.
