The ventilation system for P.S. 372 has successfully passed initial tests, ensuring a safer environment for students against contaminants from the surrounding Gowanus Canal site.
Results indicated that while the air inside the annex basement was largely safe, elevated levels of harmful chemicals like xylines were detected, necessitating immediate action.
State officials are installing a sub-slab depressurization system to protect students from harmful soil vapors, indicating a proactive approach toward student safety in affected schools.
Despite successful pilot system tests, the full ventilation system installation will not be complete until after Christmas, leaving students temporarily at risk.
