6. Egypt

Average PM2.5 pollution: 74 ug/m3

Average PM10 pollution: 136 ug/m3

Egypt is a country with a history dating back thousands of years, with a rich culture and many traditions. Unfortunately, it seems like everything is going to drown in a cloud of smog soon if things keep going at the rate they’re going. With some 90 million people living on the 387,000 square miles Egypt spreads on, the country ranks sixth among the most polluted nations in the world. The number of cars on Egypt’s streets seems to be constantly growing, sending plenty of emissions into the air, while factories and power plants have no issues sending up their filth into the skies.
