Most of the pollution bugs have been fixed, however there are still some remaining. There may also be residual sign-based issues regarding other variables that I haven't found yet.

1: Trees are now showing as polluting entities. They do not appear when the trees are not absorbing pollution. The trees are still correctly absorbing pollution, and pollution still spreads as expected.

I'm sorry.

Just a question, is this just a visual bug (meaning, is this reported wrong) or do trees actually generate pollution?

Only the statistics are wrong, they consume pollution just like they should.

Question, what is there an exact meaning for the number right by the icon for each entity type?

For the production/kill/build stats, it's pretty clear that it is the floored amount of items produced/consumed/killed/etc.

But for the pollution screen, it is not clear.

The number on the icon on the pollution stats is the number of producers creating the pollution. (X assemblers, Y refineries, etc.)
The "x/m" on the right is the amount of pollution being produced.

Same as the other stat screens.

Wrong, on the pollutions screen, it's the number of pollution units created/consumed within the selected time frame, just as for the other screens in production stats.

That is not the case.

I notice this while managing 2 stone furnaces, fed by 4 burner drills, and handfed coal from 2 other mining drills. Stone furnace icon has no number, while burner drills have 5 at 5 seconds.

It's definitely the number of pollution units produced. The numbers match up with the total pollution units shown on the pollution map (when viewed with debug pollution numbers) as well as the pollution tooltip ingame (if you read the numbers as pollution per minute instead of per second)
