Great article, Eric. I'm somewhat obsessed with pollution tourism (having vacationed in both Chernobyl and in Kanpur, India's most polluted city).
How did you choose your destinations for this list? You avoid all the standard places that show up on "most polluted" lists.
Thanks for a great article, and let me know if you ever need tips or contacts for visiting Chernobyl.
