The International Space Station (ISS) itself does not produce significant pollution in the traditional sense, as it operates in low Earth orbit and does not emit harmful pollutants into the atmosphere like terrestrial industries do. However, the construction, launch, and maintenance of the ISS involve rocket launches, which can contribute to atmospheric pollution and carbon emissions. Additionally, the debris generated from its operations and the occasional resupply missions can contribute to the growing issue of space debris. Overall, while the ISS has a minimal direct impact on Earth’s pollution levels, its associated activities have environmental implications.

Why is space junk an issue?

in space, junk can spread out anywhere around the Earth's orbit, and small pieces are untraceable. In orbit, they move at such high speeds that a small piece can cause the space shuttle or international space station to explode. There have been a few situations recently when the people in the I.S.S had to take cover in an escape pod and quickly move the space station to avoid a flying piece of scrap. Don't think of it as an environmental/ pollution concern- the concern is to save lives and billions of dollars.
