ARGUED JANUARY 13, 2012-

Before POSNER, WOOD, and HAMILTON,Circuit Judges.

This appeal in a diversity suit governed by Illinois law requires us to interpret the pollution exclusion from coverage found in most general liability insurance policies. The most common policy is the “commercial general liability policy” drafted by the Insurance Services Office and purchased by businesses to insure against losses arising out of general business operations. 9A Steven Plitt et al., Couch on Insurance § 129:1, pp. 129-5 to 129-7 (3d ed. 2005). The policies at issue in this case are “public entity general liability policies,” which are issued to municipalities to cover analogous risks and contain the same pollution exclusion as the commercial general liability policy.
