Radioactive contamination sites
You have made a good start, but I was surprised with the emphasis on air pollution. When I think of "toxic hotspots", I think of radioactive contamination sites such as Bikini Atoll, Hanford Site, radioactive contamination from the Rocky Flats Plant, Techa River, Pollution of Lake Karachay, Fukushima nuclear disaster, Chernobyl disaster effects and the Kyshtym disaster. Could you discuss some of these please? Johnfos (talk) 11:32, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
Bhopal Disaster Citation
This is a very educative article! Thank you for your work. However, it looks like the reference link for the Bhopal Disaster section is broken. It redirects to the Greenpeace homepage. It also seems as though the section on the Bhopal Disaster, even the "Soil contamination hotspots" subheading as a whole, is very underdeveloped compared to the other sections. Furthermore, the article expands on toxic hotspots in the U.S., but its representation of toxic hotspots in other countries is very weak. For example, the WHO's Global Urban Ambient Air Pollution Database has listed cities in Iran, India, and China as having the highest levels of air pollution, but none of them are mentioned in this article.

Additional source for claim
Particulate matter in the air kills several million per year, but I think we need a source for the claim that literally most of it is from consumption of goods by whites. My mama always told me skepticism should be my first reaction to surprising and inflammatory claims. At least one source is needed, and that part should be removed until then. 76.188.120.7 (talk) 20:04, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
