I am in the process of looking for a home in the Clinton Hill\/ Fort Greene area. I’ve lived in the area for 8 years, but have been considering some listings within 1 block of the BQE. Most likely they are more affordable, given the proximity to the highway.<\/p>\n
What I am concerned about, is the environmental impact of breathing in BQE exhaust\/air all day in my home. Does anyone know where I could find records about the environmental impact there? I’m concerned with having small children there breathing the air, and rates of cancer and asthma among other things.<\/p>\n
I have searched the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website but not found anything particular to this question. Also, are there any homeowners living close to the BQE who could share some advice or experience with me? <\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am in the process of looking for a home in the Clinton Hill\/ Fort Greene area.
