There also might be a time factor or usage element, as some pollutant degrade over time & no longer remain an issue. As for usage some pollutants may be used for a period of time & then discontinued, such as DDT, CFCs, PCBs, Pb from lead paints or tetraethyl lead. It would also depend on local factors. Radiation would be an issue around Fukushima, Chernobyl, ex Soviet submarine dumping ground, or nuclear reactors, but not in the Amazon, Sahara or Antarctica.
