The Environmental Protection Agency has just released a simple-to-understand document for area residents on the risks associated with the Gowanus Canal. (see above)
The double-sided brochure provides "advice about different pathways of exposure, using the familiar green-yellow-red color coding scheme to add clarity to the message." It provides the community with easier to understand information about what to do and not do with respect to potential exposure of Canal-related contaminants."
When the EPA presented the Remedial Investigation on the Gowanus Canal this past spring, area residents had asked the EPA for "plain language" advice about what to do and not do with respect to potential exposure of Canal-related contamination.
Walking along the canal is all right, swimming in it, not such a good idea.
