Kabwe, Zambia
Lead and cadmium soak the hills of Kabwe after decades of mining and processing. Children here have lead concentrations five to 10 times the permissible U.S. Environmental Protection Agency levels, and the ground is so contaminated that nothing can be grown.

thats a terrible way to burry ur loved ones...... *CRY*
Deforested areas aren't contaminated. This list is very ignorant about the real meaning of contamination.
Antonio: this is not merely a deforested area, it is bald because of toxic mining waste, nothing will grow there anymore. regular deforestation is bad enough, at least then things will grow but this truly is contamination. The list is not ignorant - it is best to read about the photo before judging it as such.
