Hazard NYC: A Talk on NYC’s Toxic Sites in the Age of Climate Change

Tue, Feb 27 2024
6:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Central Library, Info Commons Lab

climate and the environment lectures and discussions


New York City is home to four Superfund sites, toxic places where contamination is hazardous to human and environmental health. As the federal government works to make these spaces cleaner, climate change is complicating that process.

Join THE CITY’s climate reporter Samantha Maldonado and independent journalist Jordan Gass-Pooré as they discuss the past and present of these Superfund sites, and what is risking their cleaner future. This event is part of THE CITY’s four-part audio-visual series, Hazard NYC. This project is sponsored, in part, by Brooklyn SolarWorks.
