项目摘要

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）的总体目标是直接预防和干预确保我们合作伙伴社区的居民和领导人参与的策略在社区层面进行研究，研究人员与社区进行了研究。 CEC 协同结合传统的生态知识（TEK）和西方科学方法，以提高理解多条路径向废弃的铀矿（AUM）造成的曝光，并告知策略以减少有害物质的释放，例如铀，钒，砷和其他金属 - 从而减少人类暴露。我们目前的社区合作伙伴是纳瓦霍民族的蓝色差距 - 塔吉分会亚利桑那州东北部; N.M. Laguna的Pueblo；和纳瓦霍人的红水池塘路社会协会新墨西哥州盖洛普附近的国家。新的社区伙伴 - 卡梅伦农业临时委员会（CAAHC），纳瓦霍民族的卡梅伦分会项目 - 由于悠久的历史而加入金属SRP 与金属合作伙伴西南研究和信息中心（SRIC）的合作。这四个都受到影响到1950年代的AUM，大小从几英亩到2700英亩我的Laguna pueblo上的我的矿山，并且具有不同水平的补救措施，从几乎没有措施减少矿场的直接安全危害，但缺乏对废物钢琴和有害物质释放。像拉古纳（Laguna）的普韦布洛（Pueblo）一样，Caahc正在一个地区发展农业被废弃的铀矿（AUM）包围，并担心AUM对安全的影响在农田上种植的农作物。 CEC与金属环境项目合作以收集气象和特定问题（PM）数据，以告知空气分散建模和毒性评估亚微米粉尘颗粒，以及生物医学项目，以协助进行健康调查和社区成员之间的生物循环收集，以评估他们对有毒痕量金属的暴露。工作人员 SRIC和金属合作伙伴土著教育学院组成了CEC的土著科学团队（IST）与这些社区紧密合作，将它们与环境和生物学的UNM研究人员联系起来科学与研究翻译。 IST将举办以本地学者讨论的季度网络研讨会如何将土著科学原则应用于对废弃铀矿的修复补充金属项目ESE提出的创新补救策略和日常工作 USEPA根据超级基金法律证明的清理方法。在线讲习班补救科学和政策将使我们的社区合作伙伴成为全面的补救参与者联邦和部落监管机构的决定。网络研讨会将旨在为协作创造一个空间设计过程，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业用地和水。在这项工作中，CEC解决了NIEHS SRP命令2和4。
