Fighting For A Better Future For Gowanus
We are a grassroots organization that advocates for the cleanup of historic pollution in Gowanus Brooklyn, to be fully protective of human health and the environment. We demand from State and Federal agencies, transparency and accountability in the face of increased residential development -- not only for the health of current residents, but also the thousands of new people expected in the coming years.
Who We Are
This anonymous survey concerns the environment and health of the Greater Gowanus community as it relates to legacy toxicants, such as those at the Gowanus Canal Federal Superfund site and the surrounding NYS Superfund and NYS Brownfield sites.
We want to know if and how residents of Greater Gowanus have been affected by the chemicals we know are in the ground and in the air.
