Sumgayit, Azerbaijan's pollution is a left over legacy from the days of the Soviet Union. Apparently an appalling amount of the chemicals used in the USSR were made there. What is left are these eerie rusted out skeletons of industry. They have been left to rot since the fall, but their poisons remain just below the surface. Thanks to new found oil wealth, some of those factories are spewing yellow smoke once again.

A stroll along the Caspian there though seems idyllic, white sand and fresh breezes from Turkmenistan, that is of course until you stumble upon the carcass of a dead Caspian seal.
