-- Residents of Gowanus, Brooklyn, are angry at the state for what they're calling a lack of transparency after toxic vapors were discovered inside a popular local business.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the industrial solvent known as trichloroethylene is carcinogenic and long-term exposure can cause a variety of health issues. "The law says that the lands have to be restored to pre-disposal conditions," Gowanus resident Katia Kelly said. Members of the group say the community was never explicitly told about the hazard. The DEC says the agency mentioned the findings in its public memos but concedes more could have been done.
