Major cities on the east and west coast make up the top 10 of LawnStarter’s “dirtiest” list.
According to a recent poll, Houston, Texas has been rated the “dirtiest” city in the United States. It has displaced Newark, New Jersey as the dirtiest city of the previous year.
Houston was ranked in the LawnStarter research after 152 American cities were compared in the areas of infrastructure, customer satisfaction, pollution, and living circumstances.
According to the report, Houston—also referred to as Space City—is the third most polluted city in the world, after Peoria, Arizona, and San Bernardino, California. It refers to an additional examination that “discovered serious violations of EPA safety guidelines by the city’s petrochemical facilities.”
Houston is ranked “third worst in greenhouse gas emissions from large industrial facilities,” according to LawnStarter statistics, and the city has “the biggest cockroach problem, too.”
A Fox News Digital request for comment was not immediately answered by a representative for the Houston Solid garbage Management Department, which is in charge of garbage collection, disposal, and recycling.
