20 Most Polluted Cities in the World
| January 2, 2017
Chernobyl, Ukraine
It’s no surprise that the infamous town of Chernobyl makes this list. This ill-fated Ukrainian city was home to the worst nuclear disaster in history after a flawed reactor caused a 1986 explosion that was thought to be 100 times more radioactive than the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in WWII.
Today, the town is mostly uninhabited, but radioactive material can still be found in the topsoil.
