Hi, It's Amy Westervelt back in your feed with a podcast I think you'll enjoy. This show's called Hazard NYC and it's from our friends at the City. In this episode, Samantha Maldonado, senior reporter at the City, and independent journalist Jordan Gaspere take listeners to the gowanis Canal, where pollution from an industrial past haunts its redeveloped future and current flooding is expected to get worse. Check out Hazard NYC, a four part limited series exploring how climate change affects
the city's super fun to sites from FAQ NYC. It's produced by the nonprofit news outlet The City Fine Hazard NYC under the FAQ NYC banner. It was a filthy, contaminated cesspool. All we had to do is look at the water.
The smell was so bad that it could make you want to vomit. This is Hazard NYC, a special mini series from FAQNYC that explores some of New York City's most toxic sites.
Places so contaminated the federal government saw fit to step in.
And climate change adds to the danger.
It takes decades sometimes to do these cleanups. We really need to figure out how to speed those things up, because from clocks sticken.
I'm Samantha Maldonado, a reporter with the City, and I'm Jordan Gospore, an independent journalist. Follow us on a tour of New York City's dirtiest places.
And what's at stake with the cleanups before it's too late.
