It's the top : the world's most polluted cities are, in no specific order:

• Chernobyl, Ukraine
• Dzerzhinsk, Russia
• Haina, Dominican Republic
• Kabwe, Zambia
• La Oroya, Peru
• Linfen, China
• Maiuu Suu, Kyrgyzstan
• Norilsk, Russia
• Ranipet, India
• Rudnaya Pristan/Dalnegorsk, Russia

Now 8 out of the 10 are in this list because of mining and metals - it's a sobering thought and as these places aren't particularly well-known here's a heartfelt plea from me to you: do you know anyone who lives in these locations? We'd like to hear from them and find out what it's like living with pollution. Post a comment below if you can help.
