I am editing the article "Vila Parisi"

I added the line 700,000 liters of gas were released, 1,000 homes were destroyed, and 100 people died

I cited that info as well as a sentence that was listed as citation needed (reference 1)

I added the line "The geography of Cubatão prevents rapid dispersal of air pollutants"

I cited where i got that info (reference 2)

Cited the information that was already there about Beck's article (reference 3)

I added a link for favela and sociologist

Initial article:

Vila Parisi is a "favela" (slum) in Cubatão, Brazil, that was the site of a major industrial oil spill fire on February 25, 1984. The German sociologist Ulrich Beck used the case of Vila Parisi ("The dirtiest chemical town in the world") as an example of the "destructive powers of the developed risk industry."

Final article:

Vila Parisi is a "favela" (slum) in Cubatão, Brazil, that was the site of a major industrial oil spill fire on February 25, 1984. 700,000 liters of gas were released, 1,000 homes were destroyed, and 100 people died. The geography of Cubatão prevented rapid dispersal of air pollutants released from the burning fuels.
