Carroll Gardens Parents Charge City Is Giving Them the Runaround Over PCBs
By Mary Frost
Parents at two Carroll Gardens schools say their request to the city to step up the pace of removing toxic PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) from their school building is getting the runaround.
Families at P.S. 146 Brooklyn New School and M.S. 448 Brooklyn Secondary School for Collaborative Studies at 610 Henry Street learned at the beginning of the school year that their shared building could be contaminated, but they are far back in the list of hundreds of other schools in a cleanup process that may take 10 years.
