The "progressive" tense of a verb in English uses the present or future of the verb to be with the present participle of the verb in question, so that we could say "is polluting," or "will be polluting." The present participle with the past tenses of to be forms a kind of progressive imperfect: "was polluting, has been polluting, had been polluting."
