Although we did not make the list, at least two of them and maybe number 25, the United States may have helped in the pollution. But not 100 percent sure.

25 Peru
24 Russia
23 Indonesia
22 Zambia
21 Argentina
20 Kyrgyzstan
19 India
18 Azerbaijan
17 Brazil
16 Mexico
15 Bangladesh
14 Haiti
13 Tanzania
12 Congo
11 Earth Orbit
10 India
9 China
8 Azerbaijan
7 India
6 Russia
5 Russia
4 Ukraine
3 China
2 North Pacific Gyre
1 Iran

I wonder how this ranking was determined. Russia topped the list with 3 sites. Those with 2 were China, India and Azerbaijan.

I was surprised that a small country like Azerbaijan had 2 of the worst 20 sites in the world. I never would have guessed that the worst site in the world is in Iran.
