People no longer live in places like Picher, Oklahoma, or Bhopal, India primarily due to **human-made contamination**. In Picher, the area's mining operations led to severe lead contamination and environmental degradation, while the Bhopal disaster involved a catastrophic chemical leak that caused widespread toxicity and long-term health issues. Both situations rendered these places unsafe for habitation.
