5. Miyake – jima
Miyake – jima is a small Japanese island where the active volcano Mount Oyama´s recent eruptions lasted for four years (2000-2004). The outbreak from the volcano ejected toxic sulfur vapors.

6. Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands
The Bikini atoll is located in the Pacific Ocean and belongs to the Marshall Islands. In 1946 the entire population was evacuated to the neighboring island Rongrik atoll since the United States wanted to carry out nuclear tests. Until 1958, 23 nuclear explosions were conducted, including the first hydrogen bomb. The food grown here is still contaminated.
