Dirtiest Cities in the World
Almaty, Kazakhstan:
The mix of petroleum-based industry and insufficient safeguards against pollution sets the stage for an environmental crisis in the Almaty city. Toxic waste dumps involve a huge price tag for improvement and an even larger price for neglect.
Brazzaville, Congo:
Brazzaville, the capital of Congo is also one of the dirtiest cities in the world. Air pollution from emissions, lack of drinkable water and the contamination of the city's water from raw sewage contribute to the laundry list of health and sanitation concerns for Brazzaville. Each of these stresses upon the life expectancy of the local population.
