"Vapor of Concern: Brooklyn School Annex Still Fails Air Quality Tests Despite State Efforts A year after state officials vowed to address the hazardous air quality at Brooklyn's P.S. 372 elementary school annex, toxic chemical vapors continue to plague the facility. Located near the notoriously polluted Gowanus Canal, the school has been a focal point of environmental concerns, with parents and advocacy groups pushing for safer conditions. Despite mitigation efforts, ongoing tests have revealed the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air, sparking renewed fears about the health and well-being of students and staff. As the school year gets underway, questions linger about the effectiveness of the state's response and the long-term implications for the community."
