Sukinda and Vapi are the worst in India, the former because of mining and the latter from genera industry. Norilsk, where metals are extracted, and Dzerzhinsk, home to weapons manufacture, are Russia’s most po uted locations. 铁匠研究所(Blacksmith Institute)了有关全球 30 个污染最严 重地区的报告。该组织表示，不太可能将十大污染地区进展排序， 因为每个地区的污染形式不同，而且在其地理和人口方面也存在很 大差异。 The Blacksmith Institute, which produced the report on the “dirty 30” most polluted places on the pla, said it was not possible to rank the top 10 in order because of the different forms of pollution in each place and because they differed widely in their geography and population. 铁匠研究所全球业务主管大卫?汉拉汉(David Hanrahan)表示： “这30 个污染城市都对人类安康造成很大毒害。” “All sites in the dirty 30 are very toxic and dangerous to human health,” said David Hanrahan, director of global operations at Blacksmith. 该研究所所长理查德?富勒(Richard Fuller)称：“事实上，这 些污染地区的儿童正罹患疾病，(有些人)生命垂危，而目前还没有 解决这些问题的先进科学。” Richard Fuller, director of the institute, said: “The fact of the matter is that children are sick and dying in these polluted places and it’s not rocket science to fix them.” 报揭发现，在 30 个污染最严重地区中，采矿业是污染最主要的 原因，而金属冶炼、石化及其它工业也是污染的原因。 Mining was found to be the most frequent cause of pollution in
