The city will analyze soil samples at a popular Brooklyn park to see whether it is contaminated with high levels of PCBs.

Red Hook Park is located near the Chemtura Corp. plant, a plastics-additive manufacturer that closed in 1999.

PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, were banned by the Environmental Protection Agency in 1979. They have been linked to a range of health problems.

The city said it learned of the alleged contamination on Wednesday despite a report that appeared in last Saturday’s Post.

The company ceased to clean up the site after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year.
