World's pollution hotspots mapped
(snip)
A US-based environmental charity has documented what it calls the 10 most polluted places on the planet.

Heavy metals such as lead are the main sources of pollution, with 10 million people affected across the locations.

The institute surveyed scientists and environmental bodies across the world to compile its list, and is running clean-up projects in some of the sites.

"Our goal is to instil a sense of urgency about tackling these priority sites."
