Azeri scientists consider the Abseron Yasaqligi (Absheron Peninsula), including Baku and Sumqayit and the Caspian Sea, to be the most ecologically devastated area in the world because of severe air, water, and soil pollution.
Sumqayit once had the highest concentration of chemical works and oil refineries in the former Soviet Union.
A three metre rise would inundate large parts of the Apsheron Peninsula, on which the towns of Baku and Sumqayit are located, as well as large parts of the coast of Iran's Gilan province, which is a major rice growing area.
