New York officials testing neighborhoods near the Gowanus Canal for potentially toxic air, soil
New health concerns that affect residents along the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn are being investigated.
I remember back in the 70’s the City sent in specialist from UCLA to check the quarters of E-279 L131 at the urging of the UFA. Due to the high rate of cancer and miscarriages. My wife suffered one but who knew back then it was all related.,
After doing a test bore in the basement floor water from the Gawanus Canal came bubbling up, they quickly plugged it afraid of flooding the basement. Further test showed the apparatus floor was contaminated with carcinogenic fluids.
Repairs were made Air filters put in and told everybody was safe.
Now 50 yrs later there building luxury housing and advertising it as water view. What’s wrong with this story.
