Blissville residents aim to secure air purifiers as contamination concerns tied to Green Asphalt plant linger

Blissville residents have launched efforts to secure hundreds of specialized air purifiers for the community in response to what they describe as persistent pollution from a green asphalt plant on the Long Island City waterfront.

Green Asphalt, located at 37-98 Railroad Ave., replaces traditional asphalt mixes with recycled asphalt, stating that recycled mixes help reduce costs for contractors and improve sustainability goals in projects across the city.
