The entire history of the ecological movement is about conservationists working incredibly hard to create the notion of "pollution" as a concept, persuade people to believe it, build technology to detect it, generate data based on that, prove that it actually causes harm, and get people to care.
Really, please do learn more about the history of ecology and conservation and you will realize that the truth is anything but what you just said.

This seems more like a problem of convincing people of truth than problem of the contept of pollution. We have built technology to detect it - we have no such technology to detect truth. So pollution is measurable, truth is not.

No, I don't think me having an epiphany of "Gasp! That person on the internet was RIGHT, I was completely WRONG! Pollution is a harder problem than truth!" is going to happen, no matter how much history of ecology I learn. It's a cute sentiment, though.
No, this is absolutely, deeply, profoundly false.
