Episode Details

Brooklyn’s P.S. 372 is stuck in a toxic limbo—kids may return to school this fall with lingering fumes, as officials scramble to fix a mystery contamination source that’s now suspected to be coming from above ground, not below. After a year of failed fixes and new tests revealing carcinogenic chemicals like benzene, state agencies admit the problem’s roots are deeper than they thought, with cleanup stretching into next year. The school’s air scrubber works, but fumes still seep through walls. This saga, sparked by a shuffleboard club’s alarm, highlights how industrial ghosts haunt even new neighborhoods near the Gowanus Canal’s Superfund site.
