Most Polluted Places On Earth

  • There are many ways you can classify
    pollution. It can be chemical, radioactive, or
    simply the presence of improperly disposed waste
    products. While some places, like Mexico City,
    have a very obvious problem with their heavy
    smog, do not be misled. The much more serene
    looking Lake Karachay in Russia would have you
    dead within an hour of sitting on its banks due
    to heavy radioactive contamination. So, whether
    the pollution is visible or not, take note
    because these are the 25 most polluted places on
    Earth.

La Oroya, Peru

  • The most recent addition to our list, the
    small Andean town of La Oroya has been home to a
    metal smelter run by Missouri based Doe Run
    Corporation since 1922. As a result nearly all
    the local children suffer from lead poisoning and
    respiratory complications. The Peruvian
    government has even been taken to court for
    crimes against humanity by various organizations.

Norilsk, Russia
6
  • This Siberian city houses an even larger smelting
    complex than La Oroya (its actually the largest
    in the world). Not surprisingly, the pollution
    here is so bad that the average life expectancy
    is up to 10 years less than the rest of Russia.

Citarum River, Indonesia

  • One of the worlds most polluted rivers, over
    5 million people reside in its basin and rely on
    it as their primary water supply.

Kabwe, Zambia
10
  • After years of mining and processing both cadmium
    and lead are very common in the hills surrounding
    this Zambian city. In fact, the children here
    have been found to have 10 times the permissible
    EPA level of lead in their bloodstream. Moreover,
    the ground is barren and nothing will grow as a
    result of the contamination.

11
Riachuelo Basin, Argentina
12
  • Almost synonymous with pollution, the banks of
    the Riachuelo Basin in Argentina are lined by
    nearly 4,000 factories, 42 garbage dumps, and 13
    slums. Definitely not a good combination when it
    comes to health and life expectancy.

Mailuu-Suu, Kyrgyzstan
14
  • As one of the largest dumps of radioactive
    waste in all of Asia, Mailuu-Suu is not only
    heavily contaminated but there are a series of
    unstable uranium tailing pits in the hills
    surrounding the city. Were these pits were to
    empty the result would be di

Sukinda, India
16
  • With upwards of a dozen mines operating in the
    regions without any significant level of
    regulation, the this Indian city has been listed
    as one of the most polluted in the world by the
    Blacksmith Institute.
