The Love Canal was a neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York that became notorious in the late 1970s as one of America's worst environmental disasters. Built atop a chemical waste disposal site used by Hooker Chemical Company, the area experienced severe health issues among residents including high rates of cancer, birth defects, and miscarriages after toxic chemicals began leaking into homes and the school. This disaster catalyzed the modern environmental justice movement and led to the creation of the Superfund program for cleaning up hazardous waste sites.
