“The U.S. military built bases and installations across Unalaska and throughout the Aleutians during WWII, then abandoned structures and equipment when forces left — including insulation with asbestos, drums of brake fluid & antifreeze, & transformers containing polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs”

Unalaskans are changing their subsistence practices due to WWII contamination
Residents reported changing where they pick berries and plants, and where they hunt birds and fish. Some have stopped harvesting salmon and marine invertebrates entirely.
