Love Canal x 2- A Landfill Dilemma in Nassau, NY
Brief Synopsis of Documentary
As the first and currently only documentary on the (Rensselaer County) Dewey Loeffel Landfill Superfund site in Nassau, NY, this meaningful and educational 45-minute documentary,
Love Canal X 2 —A Landfill Dilemma in Nassau, NY
provides visual documentation on the tragic history of the site, from the 1950s to today; a toxic legacy that is still being passed on to future generations of Hudson Valley residents.
ABOUT THE FILM
With twice the amount of toxic contamination as the infamous Love Canal waste site, more than 46,000 tons of industrial hazardous wastes, PCBs and carcinogens, the Dewey Loeffel Landfill Superfund site in Nassau, NY has a tragic past and an uncertain future. Seven years in the making, the finished full-length 45-minute documentary features a broad scope of interviews, history and research regarding the site. Chemical, environmental and human health issues are explored through interviews with EPA officials and UAlbany Professor of Environmental Health Sciences, David Carpenter. Interviews with locals who have carried the weight of this issue for decades include
Nassau Town Supervisor David Fleming, some Nassau Lake residents and others who feel their health may have been affected by exposure to chemicals at the site.
