New York City is home to four Superfund sites, toxic places where contamination is hazardous to human and environmental health. As the federal government works to make these spaces cleaner, climate change is complicating that process.

Pulitzer Center grantees Samantha Maldonado, THE CITY’s climate reporter, and Jordan Gass-Pooré, an independent journalist, will discuss the past and present of these Superfund sites, and what is risking their cleaner future. 

This event is part of THE CITY’s four-part, audio-visual series Hazard NYC. This project is sponsored, in part, by Brooklyn SolarWorks.
