This core will provide the framework for sustained communication among research projects, cores, governmental agencies, and interested parties through monthly seminars, our website, and meetings. A central theme of the proposed RTC activities is more direct involvement with ongoing priorities of selected governmental agencies responsible for minimizing human exposure to arsenic (As) and manganese (Mn) through domestic water supplies derived primarily from groundwater. Each public agency will be encouraged to identify and share relevant data holdings. We will integrate these multi-source data into an accessible Geographic Information System (GIS) and produce maps to enhance monitoring and regulatory decision making. The data integration will assist agencies and other stakeholders lacking GIS capacity and permit others to expand their capabilities. The public agencies involved are located in four states (NJ, NY, NH, ME) and include county as well as federal and state personnel. Our approach will be to integrate existing geophysical, geochemical, hydrological, and socio-demographic data for the Newark basin and adjacent areas of northern NJ and southern NY to assess sources (natural and anthropogenic) and human exposure to elevated groundwater As and Mn. These efforts will include field collaboration with government programs in Rockland County and six other counties in the Hudson valley. Environmental isotopes (tritium-3He) will be measured to derive groundwater recharge histories relevant to As and Mn concentrations. Landfills as a potential source for elevated groundwater As and Mn will be evaluated through joint field and laboratory measurements of iron (Fe) floe deposits, indicative of their mobilization in suboxic to anoxic groundwaters. Preliminary measurements of Fe floe chemistry adjacent to landfills indicate frequent high levels of As in areas that include large numbers of new homes using private wells. As part of an investigation of potential impacts of elevated drinking water As on cognitive function in children, two of our research projects will involve numerous measurements of groundwater chemistry in two New England states. We will integrate the new data into GIS formats compatible with those employed by public agencies in NH and ME to help evaluate patterns of exposure to As and Mn in groundwater. Information on exposure potential and treatment options will be shared with the public primarily through governmental agency communication channels.

该核心将为研究项目、核心、 通过每月的研讨会，我们的网站和会议，政府机构和有关各方。一 拟议的RTC活动的中心主题是更直接地参与选定的 负责最大限度地减少人类接触砷（As）和锰（Mn）的政府机构 通过主要来自地下水的家庭供水。将鼓励每个公共机构 识别和共享相关数据。我们将把这些多源数据整合到一个可访问的 地理信息系统（GIS）和制作地图，以加强监测和监管决策 制作。数据集成将为缺乏GIS能力和许可证的机构和其他利益相关者提供帮助 其他人则是为了扩大自己的能力。涉及的公共机构位于四个州（新泽西州、纽约州、新罕布什尔州、缅因州） 包括县、联邦和州的工作人员。我们的做法将是整合现有的 纽瓦克盆地及其邻近地区的地球物理、地球化学、水文和社会人口数据 新泽西州北方和纽约州南部地区，以评估来源（自然和人为）和人类接触 地下水As和Mn的升高。这些努力将包括与政府项目的实地合作 在罗克兰县和哈德逊河谷的其他六个县。环境同位素（氚-3He）将是 测量得出地下水补给历史有关的砷和锰浓度。垃圾填埋场作为 地下水As和Mn升高的潜在来源将通过联合现场和实验室进行评估 测量铁（Fe）絮凝物沉积物，表明其在亚氧至缺氧地下水中的活动。 垃圾填埋场附近的铁絮凝物化学的初步测量表明， 这些地区包括大量使用私人威尔斯水井的新住宅。作为调查的一部分 饮用水浓度升高对儿童认知功能的影响，我们的两个研究项目将 包括在两个新英格兰州大量地下水化学测量。我们将整合 新数据转换成与NH和ME公共机构所采用的格式兼容的GIS格式， 评估地下水中砷和锰的暴露模式。关于接触可能性和治疗的信息 将主要通过政府机构的沟通渠道与公众分享各种选择。
