I live in New England and am an avid fisherman. Due to our industrial past, I believe just about every single river in the state I reside is polluted either by PCB's or lead to the point you cannot safely consume fish regularly. It is frustrating/depressing that the ecosystems may be permanently tainted and future generations may not be able to experience the joy of (safely) preparing a fresh fish they caught.

Say what you want about Chernoybl, at least after a few hundred thousand years they'll be able to eat the fish. Lead is forever.
