We are thrilled to have the opportunity to dance about something that is so meaningful to us all! One in five New Yorkers may be drinking lead-contaminated water, a new report has found. Also the Gowanus Canal: After nearly 150 years of use, the canal has become heavily contaminated with PCBs, heavy metals, pesticides, volatile organic compounds, sewage solids from combined sewer overflows, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). As a result, the Gowanus Canal is one of the nation’s most seriously contaminated water bodies. Canal sediment contain high levels of more than a dozen contaminants. Contaminants include including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls and heavy metals such as mercury, lead and copper.
