Brownfield sites are usually to be found in a town's or city's industrial zone, where abandoned commercial buildings or factories may have left high levels of subsurface pollutants such as asbestos, hydrocarbons, solvents, pesticides, or heavy metals like lead.
However(!) older residential neighborhoods may have deserted strip malls, dry-cleaning establishments, or gas stations that have left their effect.
Old maps could be your best clue to finding out where these kinds of contaminants might be located.
