In October 2006 the Blacksmith Institute (USA) published its list of the top 10 "World's Most Polluted Places". The list includes two places where, in each, one facility was allegedly responsible for the majority of the pollution: La Oroya, Peru (lead smelter now owned by Doe Run) & Norilsk, Russia (smelter now owned by Norilsk Nickel).
