In the late 1970s, a quiet neighbourhood in Niagara Falls, New York became the centre of one of the most shocking environmental disasters in U.S. history. Built on top of a buried chemical dump, Love Canal exposed hundreds of families to toxic waste, triggering birth defects, chronic illness, and a national reckoning over corporate responsibility and environmental regulation. In this episode of Compact Disasters, we examine how decades-old decisions resurfaced through soil and basements, why residents were ignored for so long, and how Love Canal led directly to the creation of Superfund.
