[b] Dye Industry : [b]Why It's Dangerous:[/b][size=4] The textile industry, which is behind a bulk of dye, uses [/size][url="http://www.worstpolluted.org/projects_reports/display/105"]9 trillion gallons of water[/url][size=4]. Researchers say that mammoth amount of untreated wastewater is dumped directly into lakes, rivers and streams. This practice alone is estimated to contribute to as much as 20 percent of the world's water pollution.[/size][/b]

[b] Chemical Manufacturing : [size=4]This global industry is responsible for producing everything from plastics to pharmaceuticals. The study [/size][url="http://www.worstpolluted.org/projects_reports/display/104"]acknowledges[/url][size=4] "they treat medical problems, improve standards of living and are relied upon" for daily life. But chemical manufacturing also releases toxins into air, water, ground and food supply. The report says the worldwide reach of the industry makes it very tough to regulate on a global scale.[/size][/b]

[b] Product Manufacturing : [b]Why It's Dangerous:[/b][size=4] Product manufacturing is the general industry responsible for making things we use every day, including electronics, food and textiles. As developing countries try to claim a stake in a global economy, some nations have [/size][url="http://www.worstpolluted.org/projects_reports/display/103"]reduced regulations[/url][size=4] or environmental standards to stay competitive. Much like chemical manufacturing (source 9 [/size][url="http://www.weather.com/news/science/environment/worlds-worst-pollution-problems-20130416?pageno=3"]on this list[/url][size=4]), product manufacturing releases a variety of toxins into everything from water supply to the air.[/size][/b]

[color=#393939][font=arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif]
[b]Why It's Dangerous:[/b] Mercury is released in the process, releasing the toxin into the air to be absorbed by fish and birds, therefore polluting the food supply[/font][/color]

[color=#393939][font=arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif]
[b]Why It's Dangerous:[/b] In the U.S., we know industrial estates as industrial parks. Generally located away from densely populated cities, these parks have their own roads, utility systems and even power sources. The report says [url="http://www.worstpolluted.org/projects_reports/display/101"]poorly managed facilities[/url] generate a host of pollution issues, from releasing toxins into the air and improper disposal of waste into water or the ground. The danger escalates when workers decided to start neighborhoods closer to the industrial parks, putting them even closer to the polluted elements.[/font][/color]

[b]People at Risk[/b]: 3.5 million people living near approximately 150 identified sites[/font][/color][color=#393939][font=arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif]
[b]Why It's Dangerous:[/b] Properly run landfills "send hazardous materials considered carcinogenic, corrosive, toxic, or flammable" to special treatment sites [url="http://www.worstpolluted.org/projects_reports/display/100"]according[/url] to the Blacksmith Institute. But poorly-regulated landfills dispose all of these items together, creating a "toxic stew of waste" that enter the environment.[/font][/color]

[b]People at Risk:[/b] 1.8 million people living near more than 100 identified sites[/font][/color][color=#393939][font=arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif]
[b]Why It's Dangerous:[/b] Tanning is the process of using chemicals to break down animals hides into leather that's used to make products from purses to shoes to belts. The process results in chemical-heavy wastewater, as well as solid byproducts (like hair, sons and hide).[/font][/color][color=#393939][font=arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif]
Although the Blacksmith Institute says most tanning operations are regulated, there are countless small facilities that are poorly managed and under-regulated, simply to keep up with industry demand. It's those operations that are putting millions of people at risk, as the waste seeps into the water and soil.[/font][/color]

[b]Why It's Dangerous:[/b] Researchers [url="http://www.worstpolluted.org/projects_reports/display/98"]acknowledge[/url] mining is "an essential industry" for modern life, and that most of the industry has taken "considerable" steps to manage the process. But there's a wide range of pollutants created at mining and processing sites that seep into water and soil, or are carried into the air. Even with all the safety precautions, the Blacksmith Institute found more than 350 sites worldwide that threaten the lives of millions upon millions of people.[/font][/color]

[b]People at Risk:[/b] 2.5 million people living near approximately 70 identified sites[/font][/color][color=#393939][font=arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif]
[b]Why It's Dangerous:[/b] "Lead smelting is an industrial process that treats lead ores to remove impurities, and then using furnaces and through the addition of fluxes and other chemical agents produces metallic lead," [url="http://www.worstpolluted.org/projects_reports/display/97"]according to the report[/url]. In countries without strict enforcement, the process can send toxic fumes and dust into the air, and seep into the groundwater.[/font][/color]

[b]People at Risk:[/b] About 1 Million people living near about 100 sites[/font][/color][color=#393939][font=arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif]
[b]Why It's Dangerous:[/b] Since lead can be used in other manufacturing processes, particularly vehicles, countries without high lead sources are eager to get it from somewhere. The Blacksmith Institute says[url="http://www.worstpolluted.org/projects_reports/display/96"]the process[/url] to get lead from used batteries is so lax in some developing countries that "batteries are broken up using hand axes or hammers, smelting of the metallic components occurs out in the open or inside domestic homes, and toxic waste products are disposed of into the surrounding environment untreated."[/font][/color]
