(Some of) You guys--if you bothered to read the criteria, you'd see why the place is included on the list.
* The size of the affected population
* Severity of the toxin or toxins involved
* Impact of children's health and development
* Evidence of a clear pathway of contamination
* Existing and reliable evidence of health impact

So the combination of all of the above got the places listed. There is no where on this earth that man hasn't polluted from the north and south pole to Greenland, Northern Canadan or Patagonia and everywhere in between. It is scarey what we are doing to the world that are children will inherit. And if global warming comes true--then we may not have to worry, because there won't be a world for them to live in!
