Love Canal in Niagara Falls, New York, became one of the most infamous environmental disasters in U.S. history when buried chemical waste began leaking into a residential neighborhood in the 1970s.

The crisis sparked nationwide awareness about industrial pollution, environmental justice, and government responsibility in protecting communities.
