Generally no.
However, I can think of one highly unusual case. If as a result of drilling a well, a sour gas (hydrogen sulfide) deposit is encountered and a blow out occurs, then in this case, air pollution would occur. The rig would be immediately evacuated and efforts begun to kill the well. Of course, the oil company would take extensive precautions to prevent this from happening. The air pollution would be minor in comparison to total sulfur emitted to the atmosphere.
