Lots of immigrants packed into densely populated tenement houses in cities Terrible working conditions in factories: unsafe, low pay, and high risk of fire Unsafe products: meatpacking, unregulated chemicals added to food, and cocaine sold over the counter Environmental problems: excessive mining and drilling and poor air quality
