“…..real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence
or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant or contamination.” (US EPA)
Land that contains low to moderate levels of contamination
Contamination can include: Old gas stations (lead based gas) Old factories that used toxic metals like LEAD or MERCURY Cleaning solvents
Can be redeveloped with environmental cleanup

The inventory can be detailed…
EPA provides the guidance, but it is the community that identifies a property as a Brownfield
Abandoned property Active but Underutilized Real estate turnover complicated by real
or perceived contamination Property use Blighted –significantly
conflicts with a master plan

What are the three categories of major contaminants in a brownfield?
Brownfield Recall Question
D.24
D.24 Explain how the accumulation of mercury, phosphates and nitrates affects the quality of water and the organisms that live in rivers, lakes and oceans.
Eutrophication Recall1. Describe how eutrophication occurs? Phosphate and nitrogen runoff cause algal blooms. This algae dies and microrganisms decompose it absorbing oxygen and creating sediment.
2. How does eutrophication impact the environment?
It lowers the amount of available oxygen.
Eutrophication Recall
Bioaccumulation refers to the accumulation of substances, such as pesticides, mercury and other toxins in an organism over time.
Biomagnification refers to the accumulation of toxins through the trophic levels of a food chain. It results in an increased concentration of the toxin in the higher organisms of the food chain.
Bioaccumulation vs Biomagnification
Bioaccumulation
What happens to the concentration of toxins as you move up the food chain?
They tend to increase as you go from the prey to predator up the food chain.
