Gather pollution with some air-conditioning tower,
and move condensed pollutions in to the middle of remote woods.
The pollution can be moved via pipe/barrels/solid objects.

This will help your base clean and also adjust/control enemy activities .

pollution is more like noise, not air-pollution.

Dytech (a mod) has something similar to that idea, but not quite the same:

Pollution related modules (enhancing or reducing pollution) and pollution related machines (one that produces pollution, the other cleaning it).

If I were you, I'd go to his suggestion thread and ask if the pollution cleaning machine could 'produce' an item/liquid that is then used by the other machine in order to generate the pollution.

Already planned
With only 1 machine instead of 10, that checks the module inside inventory if it is pollution cleaning or producing module, and works accordingly

this mod lets you capture pollution and turn it into toxic waste, which is then used for making poison mines.

I think some pollution handling should make it to vanilla eventually.
