New York State mulls study of Sunset Park air quality
The air quality in Sunset Park and its impact on the health of residents could soon be coming under close scrutiny by New York State environmental experts.
The Department of Environmental Conservation is seriously considering a request made by Assemblymember Felix Ortiz to conduct a comprehensive study of Sunset Park’s air quality with an eye toward developing ways to mitigate any damaging effects, officials said.
“We share Assemblyman Ortiz’s interest in ensuring cleaner air for Brooklyn residents and will review his request,” DEC officials said in an email on Oct. 24.
