5. Ghana

Score – 17

Data from Numbeo indicates that Ghana is the most polluted country in the world, although it should be mentioned that data is based on surveys of visitors on the website, so its placement should be taken with a grain of salt.

Another thing that makes Ghana a bad place for those suffering from asthma is the low sanitation levels. According to a report published by WHO and Unicef, Ghana places seventh among the world’s countries with only 15 percent of the population having access to proper sanitation levels.

Public smoking has been banned in Ghana for a while now, but that’s not such a big issues since very few locals actually smoke. Some researches indicate the number sits at about 6 percent, but like most statistics there’s some room for error.
