The Ganges collects large amounts of human pollutants as it flows through highly populous areas e.g. Schistosoma mansoni and faecal coliforms (therefore, carrying high health risk of infection through the fecal-oral route and bathing). These populous areas, and other people down stream, are then exposed to these potentially hazardous accumulations. While proposals have been made for remediating this condition so far no great progress has been achieved.

This video gives a rundown of the top 20 air polution reducing buildings. Starting from 20, the least reducing to number 1 being the best reducing building. This is an official list and is accurate.
The Seoul World Cup Stadium is within the list. I do not currently use this building as it is a download off simtropolis.com, nevertheless it is part of the definite list.
I regard low air pollution as vitally important part of city building. It is often an area over looked by many players who have difficult building large cities, or want taller or better looking skyscrapers. Low air pollution gives your city multiple benefits, and the costs of parks and gardens are well worth the investment. I hope that you will take away the information from my video and use what you have learnt in your own sim cities.
Here is the raw data for each building.
