Pools are probably fine for urine, but probably not big enough for corpses.

Peeing in a pool? No. There’s a reason they go heavy on the chlorine in public pools.

Peeing in a lake? Knock yourself out.

The chlorine is actually another reason why you shouldn't pee in a pool. That's how you get deadly, explosive nitrogen trichloride!

(if you want to know more, here is a wonderful video about the chemical by a very nice Australian man who I adore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV_daaldE_I )

The solution to pollution is infinite dilution.

Careful! You risk making homeopathic pollution which becomes stronger when you dilute it further.

Same as with rotting corpses and smell. A dead landlord in my living room may stink up the whole house but a dead politician sitting at the far end of an indoor stadium won't be noticeable.
