All events have an infinite number of causes - when we pick just one of them, we're doing some combination of assigning blame and responsibility and calling others to action. So that's precisely why blaming pollution might be sensible. Can you actually force all parents to move away from a polluted area?

Probably not, but you can certainly change pollution limits and enforce them.
