Top 10 : Most Polluted Places in the World

An investigation by The Mother Nature Network , based on statistical data and real weather conditions , allowed to list the winners of this nefarious distinction.Currently the world's demography is flirting with a figure that some decades ago would have seemed like a far-fetched projection : seven billion inhabitants. Among other consequences, this population growth has led unfortunately increasingly less spaces are kept safe from human presence and their polluting habits . However, there are areas that stand out for unrealistic levels of pollution. What are these places ?

1) Lake Karachay , Russia
Billed as the most polluted place on the planet , this lake receives waste from a nuclear weapons production plant pouring 120 million curies of radioactivity. Radiation in this place could kill someone in just one hour of exposure . However , most worrying is that radiation is gradually filtered into the subsoil permeating undercurrents that propagate toxicity.

2) Linfen
Linfen is considered the most polluted city on the planet. Located in the industrial corridor coal processing in China , pollution resulting from industrial emissions and automobile million pervade the landscape with an apocalyptic tinge. Some say they spend a day outdoors in this city equivalent to smoking cigarettes fifty . And fame is that you can not hang your clothes out to dry in open spaces as this will be dirtier than before getting her into the washing machine .

3) Garbage Island
Located in the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii, this place also known as the " trash vortex " , covers an area of ​​692,000 km / 2 , exceeding the size of countries like France or Spain . This island emerges as a massive monument to the dirt of the human being , and because millions of plastic debris and rubbish are concentrated in one area due to a circular movement of the equatorial currents rotating  direction clockwise .

4) The Rio Citrarum , Indonesia
Located in west Java, This River is the dirtiest and Known as polluted in the world MOST . More than five million people live around and trudged depend on water to survive ITS

5 ) Dzerzhinsk , Russia
The Guinness Book of Record Dzerzhinsk recognized as the city with the highest chemical pollution in the world. In 2003 its death rate exceeded 260% at birth . Between 1930 and 1998, more than 300 thousand tons of chemical waste were deposited in around this doomed city.

6) La Oroya in Peru
This mining town located in the Peruvian Andes owes its pollution levels denigrating the presence of mines and processing plants lead owned by US businessmen since 1922. In La Oroya, in 99 % of children who live here , have levels toxicity exceeding classified as healthy boundaries .

7) Chernobyl

Unlike the rest of the most polluted places, Chernobyl owes its merit to high levels of radioactivity that dominate the atmosphere thanks to the famous explosion of a nuclear plant in 1986. Ever this town housed more than fourteen thousand people and today there it is more than a ghost town since living conditions are unsustainable. it should be noted that this step without notice the accident occurred while d elos many people were following their normal life without percaterce of what was happening , to date there are consequences of that type.
 

 8) Kabwe , ZambiaAfter decades of mining and processing of cadmium and lead in the mines of the region , tons of these materials cover the hills surrounding the small towns in the area. The child population of Kabwe shows five to ten times more lead in their blood than allowed by the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States. The earth is so polluted that no plant grows around these hills.

9 ) The Riachuelo , Argentina
The basin of this river that originates in the Province of Buenos Aires receives waste through numerous underground pipelines. The intone is composed of more than 3,500 factories operating at around thirteen slums , and 42 garbage dumps outdoors.

10) Earth orbit
Although this place is not properly within our planet , we could see it as an extension thereof against which we repercutimos directly , and thus make it acredora a special jury mention of Ecoosfera . More than two million tons of residual waste , including metal satellite debris , coal, and even whole spacecraft "corpses " are floating around the Earth , as a kind of pathetic distinctive and iconic stamp message that we issue to rest of the universe. 

Is amazing how human beings mistreat and destroy our only place to survive , there is currently no other habitable planet where humans Could we survive if finish destroying ours , I believe that as human beings we must have more awareness and try to improve our way of caring for the only place in which we can survive. Remember a clean world is better than one in which they can not live, Now I ask you do to change it?
