Around Stoke, nasty trace from this source of industrial pollution (10)
I believe the answer is:
smokestack
'this source of industrial pollution' is the definition.
(smokestack is a type of chimney)
'around stoke nasty trace' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'nasty' indicates anagramming the letters.
'trace' becomes 'smack' (I've seen this before).
'stoke' anagrammed gives 'okest'.
'okest' inserted within 'smack' is 'SMOKESTACK'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for smokestack that I've seen before include "Ship's funnel" , "chimney" , "industrial feature" .)
