As the world’s population balloons to almost 7 billion, it’s become more and more difficult to find anywhere on Earth unaffected by man-made pollution and development, and far too often it takes things going really wrong before people take action to keep our planet clean. So here’s a list that might help to motivate: The 15 most polluted places in the world.
Citarum River, Indonesia
The Citarum has been called the world’s most polluted river. Around five million people live in the river’s basin, and most of them rely on its flow for their water supply.

+ add your ownI agree. My computer uses far too much energy clicking through articles and wating for them to load. That's not very green.
C2C, can't you put all this on one page instead of making us click through 7 pages????
heartbreakingly sad
someone should take a look at Flin Flon MB Canada. it's a disgrace.
This is what man has done to the beautiful Earth.
Yikes
Scary...
Disturbing. Look what unfettered greed has done.
The USA should make the coal mine in Peru adhere to US laws. Of course, we don't make companies in the US adhere to the laws but what is allowed in Peru is despicable! International laws need to be enacted since we are becoming a smaller and smaller planet. The waste in Argentina will find its way into the USA food chain and other areas of life! Does the USA have to do EVERYTHING??? I say YES if no one else will and they don't seem to be!!! There are no "boundaries" that keep it "over there". It comes our way.
Unbelievable! Clothes that turn black faster than they dry? A garbage island twice the size of Texas? More deaths than births? YIKES!
