Kopanje zlata, onesnaževanje površinskih voda, škodljivi plini v stavbah, kopanje rud, onesnaženost podtalnice, obdelava rud, radioaktivni odpadki in kopanje urana, odpadne vode, kakovost zraka v urabnih območjih in recikliranje baterij, sta Blacksmith Institute in Green Cross Switzerland uvrstila na letošnjo lestvico najhujših primerov onesnaževanja okolja.

The Top Ten list includes commonly discussed pollution problems like urban air pollution as well as more overlooked threats like car battery recycling. The problems included in the report have a significant impact on human health worldwide and result in death, persistent illness, and neurological impairment for millions of people, particularly children.  According to the report, many of these deaths and related illnesses could be avoided with affordable and effective interventions.
The “Top Ten World’s Worst Pollution Problems” is a non-ranked set of global issues, which – in the overall judgment of a panel of expert advisors – represent ongoing activities and conditions that pose the greatest threat to human health. This judgment requires a balance between problems with widespread but moderate contamination levels, and problems that are smaller but much more toxic.
