Project Summary In North Charleston, South Carolina, a paucity of research has occurred to understand the cumulative impact of sources of air, water, and soil pollution including historic industrial activities, operation of the local incinerator, several Superfund sites, and heavily-trafficked highways have on the overall exposure burden on these economically disadvantaged communities. Limited monitoring and community-based surveillance has occurred to understand the spatial and temporal variation of the exposure of local populations to pollution released from the myriad industrial, point, and non-point sources in the region and how this cumulative exposure has affected environmental quality, community health, quality of life, and neighborhood vitality and sustainability. Without action-oriented community-driven research and advocacy efforts, effective progress will not be made in reducing exposure and preventing pollution. Our long-term goal is to use a community- university partnership between the Low-Country Alliance for Model Communities (LAMC) and the University of South Carolina (USC), the community-based participatory research (CBPR) framework, and collaborative- problem solving model (CPSM) principles to address environmental injustice, public health, and revitalization issues in North Charleston, SC. To achieve this long-term goal, we propose the following specific aims: 1) Assess the geographic distribution of pollution sources in North Charleston, SC, 2) Specific Aim #2: Quantify levels of PM and heavy metals near industrial and non-point sources of pollution in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods in North Charleston, SC, and 3) Increase community capacity to reduce exposure, prevent pollution, and improve public health through community-based outreach, education, and training. The project is novel and significant because it will study the cumulative impacts of pollution on the environment and health of maximally exposed populations in the Charleston area for the first time. The project is innovative because we will employ the CBPR framework and CPSM principles to: 1) educate impacted residents about local pollution sources, 2) collect evidence on community exposure to PM and heavy metals emitted from local pollution sources, 3) build community confidence in scientific research, and 4) empower residents to obtain environmental justice and drive changes in local environmental health policy. The findings will have significance because they will have important implications for pollution prevention, risk reduction activities and strategies, and environmental health policy for economically disadvantaged and overburdened communities in the in the Charleston area.

项目摘要 在南卡罗来纳州的北查尔斯顿，很少有研究来了解累积的影响 空气，水和土壤污染源，包括历史上的工业活动，当地 焚烧炉、几个超级基金场地和交通繁忙的高速公路对总体暴露负担有影响， 这些经济上处于不利地位的社区。有限的监测和基于社区的监督 了解当地人口暴露于污染的空间和时间变化 从该地区无数的工业，点和非点源释放，以及这种累积 暴露影响了环境质量、社区健康、生活质量和邻里活力， 持续发展如果没有面向行动的社区驱动的研究和宣传努力， 在减少暴露和防止污染方面没有取得进展。我们的长期目标是利用社区- 低地国家示范社区联盟（LAMC）和牛津大学之间的大学伙伴关系 南卡罗来纳州（USC），基于社区的参与式研究（CBPR）框架，以及合作- 解决环境不公正、公共健康和复兴问题的问题解决模式（CPSM）原则 为了实现这一长期目标，我们提出以下具体目标：1） 评估南卡罗来纳州北查尔斯顿污染源的地理分布，2）具体目标#2：量化 工业和非点源污染附近的PM和重金属水平 在南卡罗来纳州北查尔斯顿的弱势社区，3）提高社区能力，以减少 接触，防止污染，并通过以社区为基础的外展，教育， 训练该项目是新颖和重要的，因为它将研究污染对环境的累积影响。 这是查尔斯顿地区首次对最大暴露人群的环境和健康进行评估。项目 是创新的，因为我们将采用CBPR框架和CPSM原则：1）教育影响 居民对当地污染源的了解，2）收集社区暴露于PM和重金属的证据 3）建立社区对科学研究的信心，4）增强 居民获得环境正义和推动当地环境卫生政策的变化。这些发现 将具有重要意义，因为它们将对污染预防、风险 减少活动和战略，以及针对经济弱势群体的环境卫生政策 以及查尔斯顿地区负担过重的社区。
