Becuse Easter Europe was the birthplace of industrial revolution and still kinda is. therfore its is more polluted *Actually the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution was England in Western Europe. The IR is a reason for the pollution problems facing Eastern Europe, but not the distinguishing factor between East and West. The reason Eastern Europe faces pollution issues to a greater extent is due to it's communistic history. The government controlled the industries that were attributing to the pollution so there was a conflict of interest in dealing with the pollution caused and nothing to keep it in check.

High pollution in Eastern Europe is a legacy of its communist past. Since government and industry were the same entity, there was no way for one to hold the other accountable for its misdeeds. Furthermore, government central planning kept the countries in poverty, so they could not afford pollution control measures.

Major causes of air pollution in Eastern Europe include industrial activities, coal power plants, vehicle emissions, and biomass burning for heating. These activities release pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds into the air, leading to poor air quality and health issues in the region.
the U.S, Eastern China, Western Europe, and Japan are the ones I know of.
agricultural runoff, landfills, and hazardous waste.
