Supreme Court of Iowa February 23, 2007, 05-1063 (Bituminous Casualty Corp. v. Sand Livestock Systems, Inc.)

STREIT, Justice.

Is carbon monoxide pollution? Sand Livestock was sued for wrongful death after a man died of carbon monoxide poisoning in a hog confinement facility the company designed and built. Sand Livestock’s insurer, Bituminous Casualty, sought a declaration that Sand Livestock’s insurance did not cover the incident because of a pollution exclusion provision.
