The owner-operator of an "internet cafe" has had a $50,000 loss of computer equipment that is said to have occurred when a tenant in an adjoining space was having some remodeling-rehabbing work done. A lot of fine dust was raised by the carpentry and dry wall work, and with no one realizing it the dust settled into the electrical connections in the partition walls separating the two tenants. The dust is said to have damaged or destroyed the aforesaid computer equipment.

Coverage for the insured is under commercial property form CP 10 30 06 95. What is the effect of exclusion 2. l. which eliminates coverage for loss or damage caused by or resulting from "discharge, dispersal, seepage, migration, release or escape of 'pollutants'"?
