unpolluted or non-polluted

[dn88]

Hi ,

If you want to describe some area that is not polluted, which of the following adjectives do you use more frequently: unpolluted or non-polluted? There is no difference in their meanings I suppose.

unpolluted is correct but yes, both meanings are the same.

Non-polluted sounds strange. I think rather than using one word we would say "It's not (at all) polluted". Or you could say it's pristine.

Thank you.
