dont drink the water



Brooklyn (well, Kings County) has some of the grossest water around. Its water is in the top 10% of dirtiest/worst water in the US. Kings county is also in the top 30% of air releases of recognized carcinogens and reproductive toxins in the country.
In fact, the top polluter in the area is the Brooklyn Navy Yard, releasing 52,459 pounds of environmental pollutants each year.
BUT, this is no where near the big dog of US: Red Dog Ops. in Arkansas produces a whopping 481,578,816 pounds/year.
