        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfund

        The program is designed to investigate and clean up sites contaminated with hazardous substances. Sites managed under this program are referred to as Superfund sites. Of all the sites selected for possible action under this program (and there are tens of thousands across the U.S.), 1178 (as of 2024) remain on the National Priorities List (NPL)

        Tens of thousands of sites in the US alone.

        Many are ongoing.

        Corporate oopsies are just the cost (to the world) of profit. Let’s guesstimate the ratio of impact from freedom fighters compared to profiteers.
