It's definitely something you can't imagine! Ten dirtiest cities in the world

Rudnaya, Russia

Lead pollution in Rudnaya, a giant smelting base in Russia, has led to blood lead levels in children 20 times higher than the EPA's normal level. Almost everything on the earth has been melted in this city of only 90000 people. It is said that no plants can grow here.

Lalanibe, India

Lanibet, with a population of 3 million, is one of five tanning centers in India. Chromium and other chemicals in leather waste pollute the underground water source. It is reported that 1.5 million tons of toxic substances are discharged into the water every year. Now, bathing and drinking are forbidden here.

Norilsk Russia

Norilsk, the northernmost city in Russia, emits more than 2 million tons of nickel, cobalt and other pollutants annually. Its mining and smelting began in the 1930s. At present, the city with 134000 people is the largest heavy metal smelting base in the world. The average life expectancy of people here is at least 10 years shorter than that of Russian residents. Sulfur is often smelled in the air, with children suffering from severe respiratory and throat diseases, which marks its place in the list of the most polluted cities in the world.

Merusukhyzstan

Merusu is just a radioactive waste plant. There are nearly 2 million cubic meters of radioactive uranium ore and other wastes. It even threatens the whole Fergana basin. Although there have been big explosions here, which may eliminate some radioactive materials, there are still 1.96 million cubic meters of radioactive waste.

La Oroya Peru

The long pollution leakage of metal processing and smelting here has been as long as 10 years, and the metal content in the blood of local people is many times higher than that of ordinary people. At the same time, the sulfur dioxide released from the fuel for smelting metals has also formed a serious pollution situation in the local area, and now there are almost no vegetables growing there.

Kabuwe Zambia

Kabuwe is the second largest city in Zambia, with a population of 250000. It is a lead-zinc rich mining area. Because local children often play games in lead contaminated soil and bathe in polluted water, their blood lead levels are about 5 to 10 times higher than that stipulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, reaching almost fatal levels.

Heina, Dominican Republic

Haina can be called a real poison city. It is a small city with a population of 85000, but it is famous for its battery recycling area. Every year, the waste batteries consumed in many countries are taken to this place which is not managed by people, and is only treated simply, which leads to serious lead pollution here.

Jerzinsk, Russia

Russia's jerjensk has a permanent population of 300000. At the same time, it is also a chemical weapons production base in Russia during the cold war, which has a large amount of untreated toxic substances. These toxic substances calculated in tons are completely discharged into domestic water. The average life expectancy of men in jerzinsk is only 42 years old, and the mortality rate has been 2.6 times higher than the birth rate, far lower than the average life expectancy of Russia at 58 years old.

Slums in India

There are millions of people living here. It's dirty and messy, which can't be fully described. Despite the factors caused by chemical weapons or nuclear pollution in some areas, it's a man-made garbage dump. Houses, roads, rivers, and even railway tracks are full of garbage. Adults and children live in a stinky environment every day.

Chernobyl, Ukraine

Chernobyl is the world's most polluted city, located in northern Ukraine, 140 km from Kiev. On April 26, 1986, the most serious nuclear accident occurred in the world at Chernobyl nuclear power station, which directly polluted more than 60000 square kilometers of land around the power station, and more than 3.2 million people were injured by nuclear radiation, which became a great tragedy in the history of human using nuclear energy. When the radioactive pollution of this city reached its peak, it was 180 times as much as that caused by the atomic bombs in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Uranium, plutonium, radioactive iodine, cesium-137, strontium and other heavy metals or radioactive metals were discharged here, causing local residents to suffer from respiratory diseases, infertility and birth defects, and many children also suffered from thyroid cancer.
