Pollution Exclusion Applicability

February 17, 2014

My insured has a CG 00 01 12 01 policy. The insured was hired to install new circuits for a customer. An employee was pulling cable and accidentally set off the fire suppression system in the customer's office. As a result, ansul was released from the suppression system. The damage includes the cost to refill the suppression system (with ansul) and cost to clean-up ansul. Does the pollution exclusion in the CGL form apply?
