Community Event: What’s in the Air? Ask an EPA Expert

Get a behind-the-scenes peek inside the “science lab on a bus” that’s helping keep an eye on what’s in the air in Gowanus! EPA scientists, educators, and other community members will be on hand to answer questions about the ongoing cleanup of the Gowanus Canal, how the EPA is helping monitor the neighborhood for air quality issues during construction, and what you can do to stay safe and informed.

DEP is undertaking the next round of the CSO tank excavation with more intensive air monitoring from the TAGA bus. This is an opportunity for the community to actually get on the bus, talk to scientists, ask questions and learn about how the agencies are monitoring remediation to protect human health.

The bus will be located at BUTLER & NEVINS ST, and CAG members will be set up inside Evalyn’s Tap House (236 Butler) from 6-8pm to share more information about how this monitoring relates to the many other neighborhood processes.
