The document discusses several of the most polluted places on Earth, including La Oroya, Peru where a metal smelter has caused nearly all local children to suffer from lead poisoning and respiratory issues. Norilsk, Russia is also mentioned as having a large smelting complex that has reduced average life expectancy in the city to up to 10 years lower than the rest of Russia due to pollution. Other heavily polluted locations highlighted include the Citarum River in Indonesia, which over 5 million people rely on for water, and Kabwe, Zambia, where children have lead levels 10 times higher than acceptable EPA limits.

2. 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.

3. La Oroya, Peru

4. 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.

5. Norilsk, Russia

6. This Siberian city houses an even larger smelting
complex than La Oroya (it’s 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.

people reside in its basin and rely on it as their primary
water supply.

9. 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.

13. 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

15. 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.
