Hello,
pollution is not all about CO2 and such. Spent nuclear reactors, that are just being sunk east of Novaja Semlja (and the territory afterwards being leased out to Norway, for fishing) by the evil russians, are counterwise sunk in the Bering strait, by the USA.

And then there is Depleted Uranium (DU), a major export article, used in those (in)famous A-10 Thunderbolt "Warthogs". Buried in the ground they only intoxicate is slowly for the next 10000 or so years, while the bullets hitting steel explode into a fine mist, which once getting into the lungs is sure to cause cancer and all kinds of health diseases.

After dropping hundreds of tons of cluster bombs in Afghanistan, an US general - after being asked whether he was sure that all those bomblets really exploded - answered that the only damn sure thing was that "they will reach the ground".

And don't get me started on land mines.

Greetings,
Catfish

Just found tons on that, e.g.:
The US Atomic Energy Commission sunk 15000 pounds of high-radiaoctive material, including plutonium, in the Bering strait within one year. Some reactors that are spent beyond refuelling, are also sunk completely for the impossibilty of scrapping them, regularly. They call it disposal.
There's quite some information on the glowing deep ...
