中文摘要
摘要/摘要:在整个密歇根州,人们越来越担心非常不稳定的、不稳定的和半不稳定的
有机化合物(以下统称为VOCs)。这些有害物质是碳-
容易或不容易转变为汽相或气相的基本化合物,包括:三氯乙烯,
四氯乙烯、苯、甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯。VOCs污染浅层土壤和
超级基金、住宅、商业和工业物业的后工业城市的地下水,导致
通过水蒸气侵入而暴露。环境意识和研究领导中心(Clear)
致力于了解和缓解这一严重的环境健康问题。社区
参与核心(CEC)是Clear在社区参与和教育方面的分支。CEC将促进
以社区为中心的保护人类健康和为公共政策提供信息的进程。CEC将指导其努力
整个底特律--一座在工业区和社区遗留有毒废物的城市,一座老旧的房屋
贫困率为39.4%。这些因素使底特律居民容易受到VOC暴露的影响
通过水蒸气侵入家庭。CEC将让社区成员参与努力,确定潜在的
VOC暴露的来源,预防和减少VOC暴露,重点是减少婴幼儿和产妇
健康风险。CEC的目标是:(1)让社区领袖参与社区咨询活动
董事会利用网络,提高CEC的有效性;(2)使用多种机制
对于Clear中的双向社区参与,通过将居民纳入焦点小组、社区
论坛、调查和双向短信通信;(3)将底特律居民作为公民
科学家在评估家中VOCs的风险时,帮助他们了解这些危害,
解决他们的担忧,并让他们参与减少家中挥发性有机化合物的具体活动;(4)
让居民参与建立一个报告住房评估结果的程序,并
在底特律制定干预和预防议程。
CEC将通过研究和外联活动促进当地社区对VOCs的了解,包括
家庭评估,以衡量家庭中的VOCs。CEC将提供有关潜在来源的信息
VOC并向社区成员提供减少家庭中VOC数量的策略知识,
根据SRP的第四项任务。CEC将与居民和领导进行双向互动
沟通,以评估社区在环境危害方面的优先事项。此外,CEC将
动员明确的研究人员、社区成员和当地组织处理已确定的危险。
英文摘要
Summary/Abstract: Across Michigan, there is growing concern about very volatile, volatile, and semi-volatile
organic compounds (henceforth collectively referred to as VOCs). These hazardous substances are carbon-
based compounds that readily or less readily transition to the vapor or gas phase, including: trichloroethylene,
tetrachloroethylene, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene. VOCs contaminate shallow soils and
groundwater of post-industrial cities at Superfund, residential, commercial, and industrial properties, leading to
exposures via vapor intrusion. The Center for Leadership in Environmental Awareness and Research (CLEAR)
is dedicated to understanding and mitigating this serious environmental health problem. The Community
Engagement Core (CEC) is CLEAR’s arm for community engagement and education. The CEC will facilitate a
community-centered process to protect human health and inform public policy. The CEC will direct its efforts
across Detroit—a city with a legacy of toxic waste in its industrial areas and neighborhoods, an older housing
stock, and a poverty rate of 39.4 percent. These factors make Detroit residents vulnerable to VOC exposure
through vapor intrusion into homes. The CEC will engage community members in efforts to identify potential
sources of VOC exposure, and prevent and reduce VOC exposure, with a focus on reducing infant-maternal
health risks. The CEC aims to: (1) Engage community leaders who are a part of the Community Advisory
Board to leverage networks and enhance the effectiveness of the CEC; (2) Use multiple mechanisms
for bidirectional community engagement in CLEAR by including residents in focus groups, community
forums, surveys, and two-way text messaging communications; (3) Include Detroit residents as citizen
scientists in assessing the risks of VOCs in their homes, help them to understand these hazards,
address their concerns and engage them in specific activities to reduce VOCs in their homes; (4)
Include residents in constructing a process for reporting the findings of home assessments and the
development of an agenda for intervention and prevention in Detroit.
The CEC will advance knowledge of VOCs in the local community through research and outreach, including
home assessments to measure VOCs in homes. The CEC will provide information about potential sources of
VOCs and equip community members with knowledge of strategies to reduce the amount of VOC in homes, in
accordance with the SRP’s fourth mandate. The CEC will engage residents and leaders in bidirectional
communication to assess the community’s priorities concerning environmental hazards. Further, the CEC will
mobilize CLEAR researchers, community members and local organizations to address identified hazards.
