D LOVE CANAL Ten years ago, people in Love Canal, New York learned their homes were built right on top of a dump holding some of the most dangerous chemicals in the world. The chemicals were dumped there between 1940 and 1953, when no one knew how dangerous they were.Later, the city built a school on top of the dump, and many people built homes near the school. In the summer of 1979, many people complained that they and their children had cancer and other illnesses.An investigation(调查)turned up the chemical dump. The government bought up most of the homes in Love Canal and told people to leave.Scientists said the toxic(有毒的)chemicals brought on cancer and also caused children to be born with only one kidney or with other defects(缺陷).Many children and adults died of cancer.
