Shunde China, in the summertime: there is a specific chemical smell to the air through much of the city - strong enough you can taste it without opening your mouth. Without question, the most polluted city I've ever been in.

Tijuana, Mexico: Exhaust from cars burning Pemex gas. Not sure what is different, but there is a unique odor to it. Back during the first big oil crisis (early 70's) I lived in San Diego. You could tell which cars had crossed over into Tijuana for gas by their smell.
