| Summary: | Improper disposal of toxic chemical wastes poses a long-range threat to the environment and human health. The consequences of illegal and improper waste reduction are illustrated by sites where serious chemical pollution has occurred, such as Love Canal in Niagara Falls, N.Y., and by interviews with government officials, representatives of businesses involved, and individuals whose health and property have been affected. While existing disposal problems are ineffectively regulated, the more serious problem of locating and cleaning up old dumps remains unsolved. |
