The fact that it is located in a volcanic crater surrounded by

mountains only compounds Mexico City’s already troublesome

pollution problem by trapping a thick layer of smog that hovers

over the city.

hands a severe waste management crisis.

With a rapidly growing population, Dar es Salaam’s already strained

water supply is only going to worsen. Moreover, as solid wastes

continues to empty into the Msimbazi River, the prevalence of

infectious disease will continue to increase.

at its door and its life expectancy is already one of the lowest in Africa.

If you have read our list on 25 crazy facts about the universe then

you know that the Earth is surrounded by nearly 4 million pounds of

space debris. The image you see above was actually generated by

NASA to show which ones are presently being tracked.

As the largest tributary of the Ganges, scientists estimate that

roughly 60% of Delhi’s waste gets dumped into the river.

This doesn’t change the fact that almost all of its residents rely on

it for water and bathing as well.

 

 

TIANYING, CHINA

Accounting for over half of China’s lead production, this city is

home to some of the worst cases of lead poisoning in the world.
