The 10 most polluted places on earth

Billions of people worldwide are affected by pollution from industrial waste and air emissions. In the worst cases, tens of thousands of people are literally poisoned to death each year, according to the environmental group the Blacksmith Institute.

In fact, a full 20 percent of premature deaths in the developing world are caused by pollution, according to the World Health Organisation. Meanwhile, still others living in polluted areas suffer from neurological problems, damaged immune systems, birth defects and other long-term health problems.

To help place international awareness on some of the world`s most polluted places, and to help spread the word that practical solutions exist, the Blacksmith Institute has created The World`s Worst Polluted Places 2006. The report lists the top 10 locations on Earth where polluted air, water and/or soil are severely impacting human health, and particularly the health of children.
