"Abundant" has a positive nuance to it, so "abundant pollution" sounds strange.

If you want to use an adjective or adverb there, I'd go with "significantly" or "seriously".

@Rizz12345 With polluting and in this context, I wouldn’t use any of these adverbs. I’d use

The gutter is really polluting the street.
The gutter is seriously polluting the street.
