BEIJING (Reuters) - A U.S. group’s report naming the Chinese city of Tianjin as one of the world’s most polluted places apparently confused the large northern port with a notorious lead-processing town in the country’s east.
Tianjin, with more than 10 million people, gained unwelcome global attention on Wednesday when the New York-based Blacksmith Institute named it as one of the world’s most heavily polluted places for its outpouring of toxins from scrap lead processing.
