Some of the damage has, however, been assessed.
- The risk of having a miscarriage, or having an
infant suffer from "crib death" was three times higher for Love Canal
residents.
- Birth defects among children born near Love Canal
were 56% higher than normal.
- The incidence of urinary tract disorders was 2.8
times higher than normal.
- The incidence of nervous breakdowns and other
serious mental health problems was over six times as high in areas with a
high concentration of the pollutants from Love Canal than in areas where the
concentration was minimal.
- The likelihood of dying from cancer was three times
the national average.
Of course, Occidental is a member of the Komen
Foundation's "Million Dollar Council," firms that contribute more than a million
dollars to the organization. A million dollars apparently covers a multitude of
sins. But Occidental isn't the only firm supporting the Race for the Cure that
has a questionable history or a conflict of interest. An examination of sponsors
for a representative sample of local Race for the Cure events makes this more
than evident.
