    About this ebook

    Today, “Love Canal” is synonymous with the struggle for environmental health and justice. But in 1972, when Lois Gibbs moved there with her husband and new baby, it was simply a modest neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York. How did this community become the poster child for toxic disasters? How did Gibbs and her neighbors start a national movemthat continues to this day? What do their efforts teach us about currenvironmental health threats and how to prevthem? Love Canal is Gibbs’ original account of the landmark case, now updated with insights gained over three decades.
