Toxic Gumbo: Louisiana's "Cancer Alley"
TAFT, LOUISIANA - OCTOBER 14: Greenhill Cemetery is all that remains of the former sugarcane plantation of Taft, where in the early 60's residents were moved out to make room for Union Carbide and Dow Chemicals October 14, 2013. 'Cancer Alley' is one of the most polluted areas of the United States and lies along the once pristine Mississippi River that stretches some 80 miles from New Orleans to Baton Rouge, where a dense concentration of oil refineries, petrochemical plants, and other chemical industries reside alongside suburban homes.
