## Description

> *"Also known as 'X', Pollutant is created when smelting certain metals. A concentration of 0.1 mol or greater will cause your suit to warn about poison in the atmosphere. Pollutant has a high specific heat, making it an excellent coolant. Unfortunately it is extremely bad for organic beings, and will severely damage the lungs of most Carbon based organisms."*

**Pollutant**, also known as **X**, is produced when smelting certain metals. A concentration of 0.1 Mol or greater will cause your suit to warn about pollutants/poison in the [air](/wiki/air), and it's not recommended to breathe air containing Pollutant.

Pollutant has an isochoric molar heat capacity of 24.8 J/mol·K.

Pollutant has been noted as pure Chlorine, but can also be considered other hazardous gasses such as Hydrogen Sulfide, etc. This is why [Volatiles](/wiki/volatiles) are denoted as possibly being Chloromethane.

## Usage

Pollutant is great for using as a [Coolant](/wiki/coolant).
