(DNAINFO)  Gwynn Hogan | July 27, 2016 — Are you living over a toxic cesspool?

Is your apartment above a toxic cesspool?

A map officially launched Wednesday charts out North Brooklyn’s polluted sites, waste transfer facilities, and areas susceptible to flooding, in an effort advocates hope will raise awareness about the area’s environmental issues.

“People need to understand where they live and how to protect themselves,” said Allison Currier, an environmental organizer at Neighbors Allied for Good Growth, the group that developed the Toxic City Map.

“The real estate market and the real estate developers, they’re not going to tell people, ‘Oh you’re living on a toxic site,'” she said. “They’re not going to tell people about that because they want people to buy the real estate.”
