The Hooker Electrochemical Company

The Hooker Electrochemical Company was founded in 1903 to produce chlorine and caustic soda. In 1942, they received permission from the city of Niagara Falls to start dumping waste into the love canal. The company diversified into more products like dyes, perfume, solvent, salt and so forth. All of this created a whole lot of nasty chemical waste that had to be dealt with. Do you can learn about exciting topics like pickup trucks or pickup trucks with guns on them?
