I strongly recommend going to this government website and checking out the superfund sites located in your area. If you live anywhere east of the Mississippi, your chances of living near or not far from an illegal dumping site are really high.

I almost wish I hadn't looked; knew my area had paper mills and wood processing, they've been dredging the waterways for PCBs (chlorinated organics) for decades.
I work with electronics and have heard from multiple older gentleman that when they were young, they saw old high-voltage transformers from power poles being replaced which would be leaking off the backs of the trucks until empty or even purposely tipped into the storm drains. Why is healthcare so expensive? ๐ค
No apologies for being politics-adjacent in the Gaming community, billionaires aren't keeping their hands out of anything either. Keep rewarding Valve and the good companies and shitting on the bad ones!
