Government sued Hooker Chemicals after an investigation revealed health issues from chemical waste the company had dumped on land it purchased. Relocated residents and a state of emergency were declared. Occidental later agreed to pay $120 million for a containment facility. However, Hooker did little to properly contain the waste, with no fences installed and few details disclosed about what was dumped. Contamination spread further when rains breached concrete walls and a canal was not properly lined, showing a lack of precaution and responsibility in dealing with the dangerous chemicals.

Guadalajara sewer explosions
One of the most catastrophic corrosion disaster till date.
Happened on Wednesday 22, April 1992 at 10:09 pm in Analco district of Guadalajara city, Mexico
Led to a series of explosions for a duration of 4 hours.
Followed by two more explosions on the next day at early morning.
The explosions were occurred due to the ignition of accumulated gas in a 3.50 m diameter sewer drain that was buried 8m below the roadway.
Hvdc transmission
HVDC transmission involves transmitting electricity over long distances using direct current instead of alternating current. It has advantages over AC transmission such as lower line losses over long distances and only requiring two conductors. HVDC transmission uses thyristor valves and capacitor commutated converters to convert AC to DC and back. It allows for asynchronous interconnection of two AC power systems and is used for long distance bulk power transmission and underwater/underground cables.

The Love Canal tragedy occurred when hazardous chemicals from an industrial waste dump leaked into the soil and groundwater of a neighborhood built on top of the dump site. In the late 1970s, residents began experiencing health issues and birth defects. Over 1,000 families were evacuated and the area was deemed uninhabitable. Cleanup cost $275 million and helped create the Superfund program to address hazardous waste sites nationwide. However, over 1,000 major hazardous waste sites still require cleanup.
Cord melancon ppt1
The Love Canal environmental disaster occurred in 1978 in Niagara Falls, New York. From 1920-1952, chemical company Hooker Chemical buried over 21,000 tons of toxic waste in the Love Canal, which was later developed into a neighborhood. In the late 1970s, residents began complaining of health issues and chemicals surfacing from the ground. This led to the discovery of the chemical dump and mandatory evacuation of hundreds of families from 1978-1980. Long term health effects persisted in the community and the disaster spurred legislation like Superfund to hold polluters accountable for cleanup.

Dump It in the Lake 34 On February 21, 2009, a "Notice of a Proclamation Exempting the
Waters of Sandy Pond from Section 22 of the Navigable Waters Protection Act" appeared in the
Canada Gazette, the official newspaper of the Government of Canada. 35 The Notice stated that
"interested parties may make representations concerning the proposed proclamation within 30
days after the date of publication of this notice."36 Those opposing the project had until March
21 to respond. The Environment and Mining Mining has several impacts on the environment; a
major one relates to disposing or storing of waste materials or tailings after a processing or
refining process. In the past, the tailings were simply put in piles, dumped in bodies of water,
including the ocean, or contained in human-made holding areas or ponds. All of these
approaches threatened the environment and possibly the health of surrounding residents. As a
result, the industry sought better ways to dispose of the waste materials. Research suggested an
approach whereby waste materials would be deposited in natural lakes, which would contain the
harmful chemicals. Ideal lakes for this approach would be near the plant, have limited watershed,
and be deep. This approach was preferable to constructing open holding ponds that might leak
and were expensive to build and maintain. In order to do this, some way had to be found to get
around existing legislation, in particular, the Fisheries Act, which made it illegal to pollute fish-
bearing waters. 37 However, the "Metal Mining Effluent Regulations" of the Act allowed federal
bureaucrats to redefine a lake as a tailing impoundment area. To date, 16 sites have been applied
for and listed in Schedule 2 of the regulations. 38 In order for a lake to be listed, a notice must be
issued exempting the lake from Section 22 (see Table 1 ) of the Navigable Waters Protection
Act. An Order in Council 39 is necessary under Section 23 (see Table 1) to.
St. Tammany Campaign Proposal
St. Tammany Parish has historically suffered from water pollution from urban and agricultural runoff containing heavy metals, sediments, pathogens, and chemicals. There are also two Superfund sites contaminated by nearby industrial activities. The parish has high levels of air pollution including diesel soot, putting residents at risk of cancer. Helis Corporation now proposes hydraulic fracturing in the parish to extract natural gas. If successful, this could lead to many more drilling operations and associated hazards like groundwater contamination, spills, earthquakes, and depletion of local water resources for fracking. Residents and local government oppose the project due to these health and environmental risks.
Love Canal Tragedy
If the question is asked “What is Love Canal? Why is it important?” the answer could be simply put, it is an incomplete canal, or just a trench, built in western New York state in the 1890s. From the 1930s through the 1950s, it was used as a chemical waste dump. The surrounding land was then sold and used for residential purposes, and soon people began complaining about strange odours and possible health problems. Since the late 1970s, many studies have been done to ascertain whether any health problems can be traced to the waste dumped into LoveCanal.
It is significant because it was the first case concerning hazardous waste disposal and its possible health effects that received major national attention. The information in this site is drawn primarily from two publications: Monitoring the Community for Exposure and Disease, a report to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (Nicholas Ashford, Principal Investigator, and Linda Schierow, Project Manager, Centre for Technology, Policy and Industrial Development, 1991) and Love Canal: Science, Politics, and People (Adeline Gordon Levine, Toronto: D.C. Heath, 1982). Other information is drawn from materials listed in the other Love Canal Resources sections.
The Love Canal neighbourhood is located in the city of Niagara Falls, in western New York State. It officially covers 36 square blocks in the south-eastern corner of the city. Two bodies of water define the northern and southern boundaries of the neighbourhood Bergholtz Creek to the north and the Niagara River one-quarter mile to the south. Open fields are to the east, and the western border is 92nd Street. The canal itself is enclosed by 97th, 99th, Colvin and Frontier Streets.
The not so hidden costs of non-compliance
This webinar discusses the critical role compliance plays in avoiding EHS accidents and how the 10 recent industrial disasters in 'developed' nations were totally preventable had the organizations had a strong compliance program in place.
Torts
Soha Bukhari's law assignment discusses private and public nuisance under tort law. Private nuisance involves unreasonable interference with a person's use and enjoyment of their land, while public nuisance involves unreasonable interference with public health, safety, or convenience. The document analyzes several cases where private individuals or public authorities brought nuisance actions and were found liable or not liable depending on the circumstances. It concludes that private nuisance aims to balance landowners' rights to use their property with their neighbors' rights not to be interfered with.
Pascua lama
The document is a letter urging the Export-Import Bank of the United States to reject financing for the Pascua Lama mine project by Barrick Gold. It summarizes significant environmental, social, and human rights impacts caused by the project that violate Chilean laws and undermine institutions. These include deliberately dividing the project to minimize environmental assessments, corruption of local authorities, irreversible damage to glaciers, and 15 worker deaths covered up by the company. It urges rejecting financing to avoid responsibility for illegal actions and environmental destruction.

Renewing natural processes_in_an_urban_area
The document summarizes the history of pollution in Onondaga Lake near Syracuse, New York, and efforts to remediate the lake through legal action and infrastructure improvements. It describes how a non-profit organization sued Onondaga County in 1988 over sewage violations, which led to a settlement and amendments requiring both gray (sewer) and green infrastructure to manage stormwater and improve water quality. The benefits of green infrastructure include reducing pollution, creating habitat, and improving communities.
Superfund Presentation
The Superfund program was established in 1980 after 22,000 tons of toxic waste were discovered in Love Canal, NY. It gives the government power to force companies that polluted sites to clean them up. Billions have been spent cleaning over 1,000 sites across the US. However, the tax levied on chemical and oil companies to fund cleanups was discontinued in 1994. As a result, the EPA now relies on annual tax dollars to fund the program. The document provides details on several Superfund sites in Ohio, including the contaminants present and responsible parties. It argues the Superfund program should continue to address newly discovered threats to public health from toxic waste sites.
Hazardous waste
Hazardous wastes can be liquid, solid, or gas and may be toxic, corrosive, or explosive. Examples include industrial wastes like pesticides, cleaners, and metals. The US did not adequately address hazardous waste disposal until passing the 1980 Superfund Act, as companies had illegally dumped wastes to save money. Superfund gave EPA authority to make polluters pay for cleanup of hazardous waste sites and established a trust fund to clean sites where responsible parties could not be identified. One example is the Love Canal tragedy where chemicals dumped in an abandoned canal contaminated nearby homes and schools.
Absolute liability
The document discusses principles of absolute liability and strict liability. It summarizes key cases that established these principles:
1) Rylands v. Fletcher established the rule of strict liability, holding a landowner liable for damage caused by an activity on their land, even without negligence.
2) The Oleum Gas Leak case established the rule of absolute liability for hazardous or inherently dangerous activities, making enterprises strictly liable regardless of negligence.
3) Absolute liability imposes liability without exceptions for negligence, acts of God, or statutory authority, as established in the Oleum Gas Leak case involving a gas leak from a fertilizer plant in Delhi.
False Promises: Water Quality Predictions Gone Wrong Large Mines and Water Po...
False Promises: Water Quality Predictions Gone Wrong Large Mines and Water Po...No to mining in Palawan
The document discusses 10 examples of mines where government agencies and mining companies predicted little or no impact to water quality from the mines, but significant impacts occurred. In many cases, the mines generated acid mine drainage and heavy metal pollution in nearby streams at levels that harm aquatic life. Several mines filed for bankruptcy after closing, leaving state governments with high costs for long-term water treatment to address the ongoing pollution problems caused by the mines.Soil pollution, health effect of the soil
Soil pollution occurs when contaminants like heavy metals, chemicals, and toxic compounds build up in soil. It is caused by industrial waste dumping, mining, agricultural runoff containing pesticides and fertilizers, and leaking underground storage tanks. Soil pollution poses serious risks to human health through direct contact or consumption of contaminated crops and water, and can harm ecosystems by altering soil chemistry and killing plants and microorganisms. Cleaning up polluted soil sites is an expensive process requiring excavation or treatment of contaminated areas. Prevention through regulation and reducing the use of hazardous chemicals is important to limit further soil pollution.
Environmental Disasters
The Love Canal disaster involved a neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York that was built on top of a former chemical waste dump containing over 21,000 tons of toxic waste. In the late 1970s, residents noticed high rates of cancer and birth defects, which were eventually traced to the chemical waste leaking into the soil and water supply from the dump located under the neighborhood. Over 800 families were evacuated and reimbursed for their homes after extensive legal battles and media coverage brought attention to the environmental and public health crisis.

The document discusses transparent electronics and graphene chips. It describes how graphene has negligible resistance, is stronger than diamond and 300 times more flexible than steel while also being transparent. This allows for the possibility of transparent OLED panels and breaking through the wall of traditional opaque electronics by placing a graphene chip on a transparent OLED display.
Autonomous vehicles
This document summarizes an autonomous vehicle project conducted by students at Bahria University in Islamabad. It discusses the technology behind autonomous vehicles and some of the ethical issues they present. Autonomous vehicles use computer vision and 3D imaging to navigate without human input, which provides benefits like increased accessibility and safety but also challenges like how to program responses in emergency situations that require choosing whether to harm the passenger or others. The conclusion calls for an override option and leaving life-and-death decisions to nature rather than programming autonomous vehicles to make those choices.

Superfund Presentation
The Superfund program was established in 1980 after 22,000 tons of toxic waste were discovered in Love Canal, NY. It gives the government power to force companies that polluted sites to clean them up. Billions have been spent cleaning over 1,000 sites across the US. However, the tax levied on chemical and oil companies to fund cleanups was discontinued in 1994. As a result, the EPA now relies on annual tax dollars to fund the program. The document provides details on several Superfund sites in Ohio, including the contaminants present and responsible parties. It argues the Superfund program should continue to address newly discovered threats to public health from toxic waste sites.
Hazardous waste
Hazardous wastes can be liquid, solid, or gas and may be toxic, corrosive, or explosive. Examples include industrial wastes like pesticides, cleaners, and metals. The US did not adequately address hazardous waste disposal until passing the 1980 Superfund Act, as companies had illegally dumped wastes to save money. Superfund gave EPA authority to make polluters pay for cleanup of hazardous waste sites and established a trust fund to clean sites where responsible parties could not be identified. One example is the Love Canal tragedy where chemicals dumped in an abandoned canal contaminated nearby homes and schools.
Absolute liability
The document discusses principles of absolute liability and strict liability. It summarizes key cases that established these principles:
1) Rylands v. Fletcher established the rule of strict liability, holding a landowner liable for damage caused by an activity on their land, even without negligence.
2) The Oleum Gas Leak case established the rule of absolute liability for hazardous or inherently dangerous activities, making enterprises strictly liable regardless of negligence.
3) Absolute liability imposes liability without exceptions for negligence, acts of God, or statutory authority, as established in the Oleum Gas Leak case involving a gas leak from a fertilizer plant in Delhi.
