This is not a list...

But read on.
There's a link at the bottom of this post to a list of Alabama Superfund sites.

Just happened upon a very interesting, in-depth update on the chronic health problems suffered by members of families unfortunate enough to have called Love Canal "home" back in the 1970s.
Love Canal, is the neighborhood that established the EPA's Superfund list of contaminated sites in need of clean-up. In the 1920s, the site had served as a chemical dumping ground for the Hooker Chemical Company. In 1953, Hooker covered over the 20,000 tons of chemical stew including such ingredients as Benzene and Dioxin and sold the property to Niagara, N.Y., officials for $1. The city -- even though warned by Hooker of the dangers posed by the buried chemicals (the deed to the property stipulated that Hooker would not be held liable for the toxic mess) -- developed the acreage, building an elementary school around which, by the late 1970s, some 800 single-family homes and 240 low-income apartment units had sprung up.

Please do read the article. It's very interesting, stomach-turning and eye-opening.
