In a very recent article the BBC was wondering if Cerro de Pasco is the most polluted city on earth.
In their videos the distinguished newspaper reported how most of the population in Cerro de Pasco is siffering from the pollution caused by the mine.
We do not know if it is the most polluted on earth as we did not visit all the cities on the planet, but we can ensure it is the most polluted among the ones where we have been.
We were in Cerro de Pasco in July with three doctors from Spain and Portugal to make a medical diagnosis of the situation of kids in the community of Paragsha. We will have the full results in a few months but the preliminary results are already shocking.
We will share the full results as soon as we have it but meanwhile please continue to support us. Even a small donation can be very important for the kids of Cerro de Pasco and their families.
