Description
When residents moved into the neighborhood of Love Canal in the 1950s, no one knew that their homes were built on top of a toxic waste dump. By the 1970s, foul-smelling slime began seeping through basement walls, trees began to wither and die, and complaints of stomach ailments, headaches, and even birth defects increased.
