 * __Explanation:__** As a result of being the second largest cotton producing country, Uzbekistan has a very high rate of pollution. To protect the crops, they spray many pesticides, which then gets into the air and the soil. Uzbekistan is also re-routing water from the Aral Sea so they can water the cotton. As a result, the sea has gone dry only leaving behind the pesticides that have polluted the water.
