1. Baltimore, MD
Major Causes of Pollution: 5 (Farming Industry, Oil Industry, Shipping Industry, Water Dumping, Traffic Congestion)
Baltimore is not only a place that has a rampant crime and drug problems, but it’s also a place that’s been difficult to manage because of decades of pollution. Much like Fresno, Baltimore suffers from pollution from three industries, farming, oil, and shipping. Ships that harbor nearby dump their waste into the waters and the numerous chemical and oil plants have contaminated the place making wildlife virtually extinct.
This has been the list of 16 Dirtiest Cities in America. Hopefully, this can shed some light on the situation and make efforts to reduce pollution more active.
