Adding to your list: tanneries, machine shops, and dry cleaning outfits. All of which use solvents that are, succinctly, not good for human health.
Old rail right-of-ways are also to be looked at with suspicion. Once upon a time trains sometimes left point A full of waste for disposal at a facility at point B and arrived with a lot less waste than they were loaded with (thus saving the folks at point A a lot of money).

A friend of a friend worked construction during summer vacation, and when excavating a site that was corner gas station and adjacent laundry, a few workers were overcome by fumes from the gasoline/diesel/dry cleaning muck that was a few feet underground. He quit that day!
