No, the adjective plays no role here. What does, is context.
While music, pollution, tea and work can all be used as mass nouns (and regularly are) as in these examples:
They played lovely music at that concert.
There is heavy pollution in this city.
When you have a cold, I recommend drinking hot tea.
Hard work will make you forget your worries.
When you are referring to a specific instance of the concept, yuo do use an article, which can be either definite:
The loud music they played here hurts my ears.
The heavy pollution in this city is bad for my health.
The hot tea you gave me burned my lips.
The hard work you did was in vain.
Or indefinite:
In the restaurant they played such a lovely music!
The old diesel engines cause a deadly pollution in this city.
It is cold outside! I could do with a hot tea!
That is a great work of art!
(Yes, that last example is cheating... I couldn't come up with a better example :) )
