There is no correct answer for which cities have the worst pollution.
The lists can be different based on what is considered a pollutant or
which pollutants are considered to be worse. Water pollution, ground
pollution and air pollution
are all bad, but depending on which ranking one looks at, some may be
considered worse than others. Still, some cities in the world tend to
make many of the lists. At least in these cases, there is some
consensus.One of those cities is Kabwe, Zambia. This African city known for its lead and copper mines is also known for its pollution. As the mines ran without government environmental regulation for nearly a century, the toll
on the local population began to show. Even with the mines no longer in
operation, children in and around the city show lead levels five to ten
times the amount considered acceptable by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency.
