                <media:description>A tour bus, operated by Chornobyl-Tour, drives past a Soviet-era sign marking the entrance to the abandoned city of Pripyat, Ukraine, on Wednesday, June 19, 2019. Chornobyl-Tour expects 150,000 bookings by the end of the season, twice the number of visitors last year, largely because of the five-part TV docudrama.</media:description>

                <media:description>ZENICA, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA. 02/24/2014Homes next to the belching steelworks in Zenica. Zenica is a city of around 100,000 dominated by steel. When global steel giant ArcelorMittal bought the Zenica plant in 2004, the Indian billionaire promised to make all appropriate investment in the protection of the environment. But a decade on, much of this work has not been completed. Bosnia suffers from some of the worlds highest levels of air pollution, with Zenica among the worst affected.The Zenica steelworks first opened at the tail-end of the 19th century, when Bosnia-Herzegovina was a restive part of Austro-Hungarian empire. Under Marshal Tito, production boomed. Workers were recruited from all over the former Yugoslavia and even further afield.(Photo by Giles Clarke/Getty Images)</media:description>
