No. Lightning actually produces small amounts of pollutants such as ozone and nitrogen oxides. The rain the usually accompanies lightning can remove some pollutants.

Can there be lightning in space?

no there can not be lightning in space cause theres nothing for it to hit when it strikesAnswer #2: Yes, lightning can happen in space. However, it will not be like planet-based lightning. Astronomers have found discharges of extremely high current in various parts of space with currents millions of times that of lightning found on Earth and "bolts" sizing in the dozens of parsecs in length formed by the discharge of a black hole's electromagnetic field. Additionally, lightning happens inside nebulae due to stars ionizing the gas in the nebula (Which incidentally causes the colorization). Gamma ray bursts can also cause large discharges.
