An interesting article on the world's dirtiest cities. (http://www.popsci.com/badcities)

My favorite dirty city, you ask?

Norilsk, Russia

http://www.popsci.com/files/imagecache/photogallery_image/files/articles/2norlsk.jpg

Norilsk’s Soviet-era plant spews tons of heavy metals like nickel and cobalt into the air, leading to severe respiratory and throat diseases in children and a life expectancy 10 years below the Russian average for plant workers.

Comments?

To be safe, you probably need to just stay out of Russia altogether. That place is pretty dirty. And a lot of the people are drunk.

It didn't mention Detroit, but did mention Pittsburgh (both before and after dark <- inside joke to old DemFoers).

I would imagine several cities in China would fall on that list.
