Project Summary/Abstract, Community Engagement Core The overall goal of the METALS Community Engagement Core (CEC) is to direct prevention and intervention strategies to ensure that residents and leaders of our partner communities are involved in every step of the research at the community level and that researchers are engaged in and with the communities. CEC synergizes Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and Western Scientific methods to increase understanding of multiple-pathway exposures to abandoned uranium mine (AUM) wastes and inform strategies to reduce releases of hazardous substances – such as uranium, vanadium, arsenic and other metals -- thereby reducing human exposures. Our current community partners are Blue Gap-Tachee Chapter of the Navajo Nation in northeastern AZ; Pueblo of Laguna, N.M.; and Red Water Pond Road Community Association on the Navajo Nation near Gallup, NM. A new community partner – the Cameron Agricultural Ad Hoc Committee (CAAHC), a project of Cameron Chapter of the Navajo Nation – joined the METALS SRP as a result of a long history of collaborations with METALS partner Southwest Research and Information Center (SRIC). All four are impacted by AUMs that date back to the 1950s, range in size from a few acres to 2,700 acres (the Jackpile open-pit mine on Laguna Pueblo), and have had varying levels of remediation, from virtually none to measures that reduce immediate safety hazards at the mine sites, but are lacking long-term control of waste piles and hazardous substances releases. Like the Pueblo of Laguna, CAAHC is developing farming in an area surrounded by abandoned uranium mines (AUMs) and is concerned about impacts of the AUMs on the safety of crops grown on the farmlands. CEC collaborates with the METALS environmental projects to collect meteorological and particulate matter (PM) data to inform air-dispersion modeling and toxicity assessments of submicron dust particles, and with the biomedical projects to assist in conducting health surveys and biospecimen collections among community members to assess their exposures to toxic trace metals. Staff of SRIC and METALS partner Indigenous Education Institute form the CEC’s Indigenous Science Team (IST) that works closely with these communities, linking them with UNM researchers in the environmental and biological sciences and research translation. The IST will hold quarterly webinars featuring Native scholars discussing how principles of Indigenous Science can be applied to remediation of abandoned uranium mines to supplement innovative remediation strategies proposed by METALS Project ESE Remed and the routine clean-up methods proffered by USEPA under authority of the Superfund law. Online workshops on remediation science and policy will empower our community partners to be full participants in remediation decisions by federal and tribal regulatory agencies. The webinars will aim to create a space for collaborative design processes, TEK formulations, and place-based strategies for reducing impacts to community partners’ agricultural lands and water. In this work, CEC addresses NIEHS SRP mandates 2 and 4.

项目摘要/摘要，社区参与核心 金属社区参与核心(CEC)的总体目标是指导预防和干预 确保我们的伙伴社区的居民和领导人参与到 在社区一级进行研究，研究人员参与社区并与社区合作。CEC 将传统生态知识(TEK)和西方科学方法相结合，以增加理解 关于多途径暴露于废弃铀矿(AUM)废物的情况，并通报减少 释放有害物质--如铀、钒、砷和其他金属--从而减少 人体暴露。我们目前的社区合作伙伴是纳瓦霍民族的Blue Gap-Tachee分会 亚利桑那州东北部；新墨西哥州拉古纳的普韦布洛；纳瓦霍河上的红水池路社区协会 新墨西哥州盖洛普附近的国家一个新的社区合作伙伴-卡梅伦农业特设委员会(CAAHC)，一个 纳瓦霍民族卡梅伦分会项目-加入金属SRP是由于 与金属合作伙伴西南研究和信息中心(SRIC)的合作。四个人都受到了影响 可追溯到20世纪50年代的AUM，规模从几英亩到2700英亩(杰克皮尔露天矿 在拉古纳普韦布洛的地雷)，并进行了不同程度的补救，从几乎没有到采取措施 减少矿场眼前的安全隐患，但缺乏对垃圾堆的长期控制和 有害物质的释放。像拉古纳的普韦布洛一样，CAAHC正在一个地区发展农业 被废弃的铀矿包围，并关注废弃铀矿对安全的影响 种在农田里的庄稼。CEC与金属环境项目合作收集 气象和颗粒物(PM)数据，为空气扩散模拟和毒性评估提供信息 亚微米尘埃颗粒，并与生物医学项目合作，协助进行健康调查和 在社区成员中收集生物素，以评估他们对有毒痕量金属的暴露。的工作人员 SRIC和金属合作伙伴土著教育研究所组成了CEC的土著科学团队(IST)， 与这些社区密切合作，将他们与UNM在环境和生物领域的研究人员联系起来 科学和研究翻译。IST将每季度举办一次网络研讨会，由土著学者讨论 如何将本土科学原理应用于废弃铀矿的修复 补充Metals Project ESE Remed提出的创新补救策略和常规 根据超级基金法的授权，美国环保局提供的清理方法。在线研讨会，内容涉及 补救科学和政策将使我们的社区合作伙伴成为补救的全面参与者 联邦和部落管理机构的决定。网络研讨会的目标是为合作创造一个空间 设计流程、TEK公式和基于地点的策略，以减少对社区合作伙伴的影响 农地和水。在这项工作中，CEC解决了NIEHS SRP任务2和4。
