Chad
We can say there’s pollution, but it’s easy to turn our heads and pretend nothing is happening. But when you start to see the effects it has on the environment, there’s no way to ignore it. Lake Chad completely disappeared as a result of air pollution. Smog and soot are released from nearby factories. Also, coal-burning plants in Europe contributed to the disappearance of the lake.

This isn’t the only time this has happened, unfortunately. Because Chad is one of the most polluted places on earth, it comes as no surprise it occurred here. Additionally, one of the leading risk factors for death in Chad is air pollution, in addition to household pollution. The air there is detrimental to the local’s health (Climate Change News).
