Love Canal

When canal lovers think about environmental disasters, there will be a big explosion in the industrial area. This is not the case with the Love Canal. Unlike most environmental hazards, Niagara Falls Love Canal Event does not feature known uncontrollable effects. It has developed for decades. Because the influence of leaching chemicals is uncertain, slow development, and visual effects are very limited. Disasters may have been decided in advance or later if the rest of the world is afraid that there are no emergencies before the authorities announce it.

Joyce Carol Oates tells the story of Love Canal with her 2004 novel "Waterfall", but changed the time of disaster in the 1960 's. The latest history of the canal of love, the canal of love: the history of colonial toxicity up to now, written by Richard S. Newman by Oxford University Press Office in 2016. The movie Tootsie has a role in trying to make a script called "Return" to love the canal, in response to the rhythm of the game, Sydney Pollack told Dustin Hoffman. No one wants to spend $ 20 to see the people who live next to canal play chemical waste. They can be seen in New Jersey. "

Loving the canal is not a coincidence. This is the case of negligence of the company and municipalities. Originally a pioneering canal project of entrepreneur William Love in the early 20th century, the canal was abandoned before completion in 1910. From 1942 to 1952, the canal was used as a toxic waste disposal site for chemical waste by Hooke Electrochemistry. The company is one of the first heavy industries enterprises grown around the natural resources of Niagara Falls. In 1953, Hook Chemical Co. buried the canal and sold it to the Niagara Falls Board of Education at 1 dollar, soon became the home of a new elementary school in La Salle's residential working-class society. Residents in this quiet residential area do not know that it is built on a toxic chemical disposal site. For decades residents were aware of chemical smells and substances in the garden, but they did not take action until 1978 when people began to become seriously ill.

The problem of canal love began when the Niagara Falls Board of Education was eager to buy land from Hook Chemical for a new school in 1953. Do not buy hooks, warn the school board about the love of toxic waste on the canal, and make sure that the committee can visit the facility to believe that the place is not suitable for development I will recommend it. Unfortunately, the Board of Education does not believe or threaten Hukker's outstanding field. Mr. Hook cautioned to the Board of Directors and had to sell it for $ 1.00, so we set a limit of 17 lines on the contract and warned the Board of Directors and delivered the future responsibility to the school.
