Explanation:

  • Three Mile Island Accident (1979) - resulted from a nuclear reactor's partial core meltdown at 3MI's Unit 2 Nuclear Generation Station, in Dauphin County near Harrisburg, PA on March 28, 1979.
  • Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Disaster (1989) - an American oil tanker collided with the Bligh Reef in Prince William Sound, Alaska on March 24, 1989.
  • Dust Bowl or Dirty Thirties (1930s-1940s) - excessive farming and natural drought combined to create massive dust storms or "black blizzards) across the Great Plains states.
  • Seveco/Meda (Italy) Dioxin Disaster (1976) - a reactor at the ICMESA chemical plant exploded releasing a toxic cloud of dioxin on July 10, 1976 near Sevesco and Meda Italy.
  • Minamata Disease / Mercury Poisoning (1932-1968) - first discovered in 1956, caused by the long time release of mercury into the Shiranui Sea by the Chisso Corp. Cases of mercury poisoning resulted from eating contaminated fish and shellfish.
  • Love Canal (1940s-50s and again 1976-78) - Work began on the canal to connect the Niagara River with Lake Ontario in the late 1890s but only a mile was ever dug. So in the 1920s Niagara Falls NY started using it as a municipal garbage dump site. Hooker Chemical used it for chemical waste drums between 1942-53 before donating to the city. In the late 1970s investigative newspaper reporters began documenting the toxic neighborhood and health problems
