Ranging from an e-waste site in Ghana, to an artisanal gold mining
region in Indonesia, to a cluster of tanneries in Bangladesh, these “Top
Ten Toxic Threats” highlight a global struggle with toxic pollution.
The sites were chosen from a growing list of more than 3,000 toxic sites
worldwide identified by the Blacksmith Institute. They were selected on
the basis of the toxicity of pollutants present, pathways to exposure,
and the number of people at risk.
