A chance visit to Kanpur at the behest of his travelling companion, an environmentalist who wanted to visit India's most polluted city, turned Andrew Blackwell into a member of that tiniest of demographics: the eco-disaster tourist. Years later, the quest that began on the banks of the Ganges has resulted in this book about touring the world's eco-disaster sites. Besides the titular Ukrainian nuclear disaster site (where it was indeed sunny and unexpectedly bucolic), Blackwell visited the Canadian oil sands, a Texas refinery town, the accumulated waste plastic caught in the great Pacific rubbish patch, deforested stretches of the Amazon, workers in China's electronic waste and coal industries and finally a return to India's pollution. Despite the author's self-description as a "sensitive, eco-friendly liberal" - he lives in New York City, after all - this is anything but a Silent Spring-style polemic.
