The Love Canal incident in New York involved B) improper disposal of toxic waste which led to widespread illness and birth defects.

A 0.28 km2 (0.11 sq mi) landfill in Love Canal was the scene of a major environmental catastrophe in the 1970s. Hundreds of inhabitants' health had been injured for years by the dumping of dangerous chemicals; the region was cleaned up over the course of 21 years in a Superfund operation.

The H-o-o-k-e-r Chemical Company was looking for a location to dump a sizable amount of its chemical waste at the end of the 1940s. The canal and the 70-foot-wide (21-meter) banks on both sides of the canal were purchased by H-o-o-k-e-r in 1947.  After then, it was transformed into a 16-acre (6.5 hectare) landfill where toxic garbage was improperly disposed of, resulting in widespread disease and birth deformities.
