The World's Most Polluted Places

We generally like to highlight the good rather than harp on the bad. That said, we thought this list of the ten most polluted places in the world was worth passing on. It's really well researched and we're thinking of it more as reality check than scare tactic.

Holy crap. Not in anyone's back yard.
