Call me old-fashioned, but I feel that providing options to remove essential 
game features like this is a very bad idea.  Pollution is an important way 
to limit the power of really big cities, and removing it would unbalance the 
game greatly in their favor.
On a related note, some people think that the way to cure smallpox/ICS is to 
give more benefits to big cities.  That's not a good idea either.  Big 
cities are already extremely powerful, because the bigger the city, the 
greater the effect of city improvements.  If a city size bonus is added, it 
will surely upset game balance beyond recognition.
