Love Canal, Video Part 2

Toxic waste began being pushed to the surface in Love Canal when groundwater levels rose dramatically in a year when there was heavy rain and snowfall.

Some of the health hazards associated with the chemicals were cancers, liver diseases, and heart diseases.

Other parts of the ecosystem affected by Love Canal were the animals on and near Love Canal, and the ground and water in the area. The animals were affected much as humans were, and the ground and water in that area are still being treated because of the toxicity.
