What would make an area uninhabitable for over 250 years?

Hi, I'm currently writing a Sci-Fi novel, set on another planet. Part of the story involves the main characters entering a city, and realizing it had been made uninhabitable due to an attack that happened around 250 years prior, so they cannot enter safely. This will also be the same with a few other cities they encounter.

I want the story to be as scientifically accurate as possibly. I tried the "nuclear attack" route, but soon found that most nuclear effects wouldn't be all that dangerous after 250 years. I then thought about going down some kind of poisonous gas route, but common sense told me it would have diffused long ago.

I really want to give a feeling of dread, as the characters realise they are entering a dangerous area, and have them looking to get out as quick as possible.

So my question is, as the title says, what would make an area uninhabitable for over 250 years? Is there anything, or will I have to shorten the time to 50/100 years ago?

Also, I could have it that the cities are safe to travel through, though I don't feel as though it would be relevant to the story, and might end up having to write for a city that has no significance to the story, other than the fact it was attacked. Though if people advise me this way may be better, then this is how i will do it.

This is my first novel, so if you can't answer the question, but have any kind of advice to give, please feel free to give your input.

P.S I'm writing this novel for myself, I don't intend to publish it. Though, if i like how it turns out, i may want to publish it as a Kindle ebook. Though as of right now, it's just a hobby lol
Added (1). Thanks for the fast responses guys!

I should have mentioned this was a kind of guerrilla attack, from a nearby alien planet

Anyway, I like the idea of fumeroles/underground coal veins, never really thought of going for a 'chain reaction' lol. I could have it that the attackers strategically targeted certain areas with explosives, to release these gases on to the city, if that would work out right?

Anyway, thanks for the help, greatly appreciate it, as this is the biggest bump in the road I've had since i started writing lol

Help buying the right charger for my Kindle Fire?

Just bought me a Kindle and was disappointed to see that it did not come with a wall charger, so I need your help in selecting the right one.
- I notice the Amazon Powerfast charger has following output: 5V, 1.8A
- my cell phone charger: 5V, 0.7A
- Rocketfish charger: 5V, 2.1A

Ok so my question is:
- does the amps mean how fast my Kindle will get charged? So according to stats, the Rocketfish charger should charge the fastest and my cell phone charger will be the slowest, is this correct?
- what is the output from a laptop usb?
- also the volts should never be higher, it should only be at 5volts, correct?

Thanks in advance!

Chances of amazon closing your Kindle account?

So, im looking into buying a kindle with some extra money i have laying around due to the fact that its so light weight and i can have thousands of books without lugging them around. Only, my friend just let me onto a issue of the DRM and if amazon closes your account you lose all of your books. This concerns me… what if i buy thousands of books and they magically get taken back? Maybe im just grasping at straws but whats the chances that amazon closes your account or charges you in some way to keep your books?

What to do with a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 stuck in boot screen (orange)?

After rooting my KFHD, which was successful, I rebooted into TWRP. The screen went off after a while and did not respond to any buttons, so I hard reset it. Since then, KFHD has been stuck on boot screen (orange, not blue).

ADB is offline, fastboot won't find the KFHD, anyone knows what is going on?

Do you have summer reading list?

I'm homeschooled so I'm not sure what public schools do but some of my friends in school have summer reading lists. I have never done this becuase mainly I love to read & I read everything.

Bored since I've sprained my ankle I looked online for high school reading lists & came across this site
https://arkansashomeschool.org/index.php/free-info/curriculum-resources/high-school-reading-list/

Am I total nerd since I have already read most of these? I'm 16 & read some of these books before 13.

There are other suggestions on other sites too which have books I haven't read so I'm going to try to find them for my Kindle so I can start reading them now. I guess I am a nerd.lol

Does your school have a summer reading list you must read during the summer before school? What is it and what books are on it? I may want to read them too.
Added (1). Of Course I read books I stumble across. I read everything. We usually go to the library twice a week and I pick out books. I was just wondering about reading lists required by public or private schools.

Can Amazon re-edit an already purchased e-book?

I received an email today informing me that an e-book I had purchased has been re-edited and that I can download the newer version for free.It reminded me of a lawsuit Amazon lost a few years ago when they deleted a copy of Orwell's 1984 from the Kindles of everyone who had purchased the book and then offered to replace it with a different publisher's 1984. Some kid who was doing a book report on it woke up one morning to find his e-book was gone. Amazon lost the lawsuit.
What worries me is that a non-fiction book could be turned into fiction to appease a political party, or a powerful corporation, etc. The book I had purchased was about politics and religion. A very touchy subject to some. Amazon doesn't disclose what changes have been made, just that it's been changed and their lucky customer can get it free!
What are your thoughts?

My Fiance Spends Too Much Time On Her Kindle?

I love my fiance' and respect everything she does in the utmost manner. I like that she has hobbies and definitely like that she reads and enjoys it. She is a huge fan of Manga and Anime in general. But I have noticed over the past month or so she has been spending an extremely higher amount of time on her kindle reading these stories (and when I mean more time I mean 6 - 7 hours per day straight without getting up for almost anything).

When I approach her about it and tell her how it makes me feel she gets very frustrated and stops and comes to see what I am doing. I hope I don't sound selfish I just don't want this to progressively get worse and worse to the point where we dont spend any more time together… What should I do?
