OPINION OF THE COURT
Bellacosa, J.
The phrase "injury to property” in the date of discovery Statute of Limitations, CPLR 214-c (2), embraces actions for damages ensuing from exposure to any substance, including those characterized as continuing trespass and nuisance. Thus, in this action for compensatory and injunctive relief due to hazardous waste contamination of the plaintiffs’ property, we conclude that the order of the Appellate Division should be modified by reversing so much as reinstated the plaintiffs’ causes of action for damages based on continuing trespass and nuisance.
