(14,449 posts)1. That was interesting
Although we did not make the list, at least two of them and maybe number 25, the United States may have helped in the pollution. But not 100 percent sure.

I wonder how this ranking was determined. Russia topped the list with 3 sites. Those with 2 were China, India and Azerbaijan.
I was surprised that a small country like Azerbaijan had 2 of the worst 20 sites in the world. I never would have guessed that the worst site in the world is in Iran.
