  • Ranipet, India: groundwater with hexavalent chromium,
  • Mailuu-Suu, Kyrgyzstan: radioactive mining waste
  • La Oroya, Peru: emissions of lead
  • Dzerzinsk, Russia: chemical weapon waste
  • Norilsk, Russia: heavy metals
  • Rudnaya Pristan, Russia: lead l
  • Chernobyl, Ukraine: radiation
  • Kabwe, Zambia: lead

Countries are usually rated (as far as pollution is concerned) by the amount of emissions of specific materials. In the case of green house gases China, the United States and the European Union lead the list by contributing as much as all the other +150 countries in the world.
