Unless they're wormed regularly they do pollute _with_ parasites!
I remember reading some years ago that most adults by the time they die, show signs of having been infected with toxacara canis at some time in their lives. There was a radio programme many years ago about a girl whose childhood was blighted by an undiagnosed toxacara infection. She missed a great deal of her childhood with illness and had several operations to remove growths which were though to be cancerous.
