Too many to list: Thanks to love canal investigation, thousands of cancers were prevented by public awareness, vigilance by federal epidemiologists who were always watching, cleaning and preventing contamination, along with several agencies, like us agency for toxic substance and disease registry, cdc, epa, niehs and several local govt agencies. Look at their web sites for location and how you can help.

Woburn: Actually, these claims are largely about politics and tort law. Ask several statisticians whether there was really an increase in cancer at love canal despite the chemicals breaking free into living rooms. In the famous 333,000,000 dollar settlement case there was actually no increase in overall cancer. The real evils are pollution and dangerous working conditions in the developing world.
