Russia is Most Poisonous Country in the World

Publication time: 20 October 2006, 07:46

Three Russian town are among the 10 most polluted places on Earth, says an environmental group. The Blacksmith Institute, in New York, which compiled the list, also says world pollution is making up to a billion people ill, Reuters reported.

 

Number One is Dzerzhinsk (Nizgny Novgorod Region), a centre for making chemical weapons, including Sarin and mustard gas, the average life expectancy is 42 for men and 47 for women. Chemicals from the weapons manufacturing were dumped into an aquifer that also provides the local community with drinking water

 

Number Two is Norilsk. It is also just a horror story. Industrial city founded as a slave labour camp in 1935. Smelters with no pollution control; nickel, copper, lead, cadmium. No pollution control. Just an awful place, as Russia on a whole. The air in the area is polluted with radioactive Strontium-90, Caesium-137, sulfur dioxide and heavy metals. The snow in the city is often black and the air tastes of sulfur.

 

Number Three is Rudnaya Pristan (Dalnegorsk, Primorye Region).  In Rudnaya Pristan, outside Dalnegorsk, the soil is dangerously contaminated with lead, posing a danger to 90,000 people.

 

Moscow is really cruel and inhuman when it forces Caucasian peoples to live in such dreadful, repulsive  and disgusting country as Russia.
