[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

human-made contamination and human-made subsidence are the main reasons why people no longer live in places like Picher, Oklahoma and Bhopal, India. In Picher, Oklahoma, the town was heavily contaminated with lead and zinc due to mining activities, while in Bhopal, India, a major chemical disaster occurred in 1984 at a pesticide plant, resulting in widespread contamination. Both of these factors made these places uninhabitable for residents.
