Indian subcontinent is most polluted with Bangladesh, Pakistan and India taking up top 3 positions. It seems triple whammy of population, geography and resources is hard to beat.

- chipdart 3y ago> It seems triple whammy of population, geography and resources is hard to beat. Doing nothing about it is what's hard to beat. Even simple things like river pollution, which is directly tied to securing access to safe drinking water and could easily be mitigated by investing in very basic public sanitation services, is not even addressed by their governments.
- samarthr1 3y agoTo say that all the three have terrible public sanitation is not entirely inaccurate. However, atleast in india, our government has been trying very hard to improve access to toilets in rural india.
