Environmental Monitoring and Interpretation Fac/Ser Core (FSC)

环境监测和解释核心-摘要 欧委会将以多种方式为我们的伙伴部落社区和中心的其他项目提供服务。欧共体 将确定和量化混合金属在环境中的大小和分布浓度 通过命运、运输和扩散模型和测量以及部落尿样中的媒介 人口。 欧共体的具体目标是为支持本地EH股权中心提供以下服务：1) 描述部落土地饮用水水源地中金属浓度的空间分布；2) 量化传统和文化习俗造成的金属环境暴露；3)评估 通过生物监测与环境数据相联系而暴露于金属；以及4)确定初级 关注改善健康公平。这些产出将提供具有社区代表性的暴露估计 我们的三个部落社区伙伴，并将应用于DNA修复和种群的动物研究- 基于免疫功能的关联研究(研究项目，RP1和RP2)。与 行政核心是确保中心的整合和总体重点将保持不变的核心 回应社会关注的问题和需求。与社区参与核心的协作将 确保在所有项目中获得的结果将被传达给社区，以便为采取行动提供信息 降低风险。该中心提供了一个机会，以下列方式翻译所有项目的调查结果 旨在使服务不足的部落社区受益，目标是加强卫生公平。

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND INTERPRETATION CORE - SUMMARY The EC will serve our partner tribal communities and other projects of the Center in numerous ways. The EC will identify and quantify the magnitude and distribution concentrations of a mixture of metals in environmental media through fate, transport and dispersion models and measurements, and in urine samples for tribal populations. The Specific Aims of the EC provide the following services in support of Native EH Equity Center: 1) Characterize the spatial distribution of metal concentrations in drinking water sources on tribal lands; 2) Quantify environmental exposures to metals resulting from traditional and cultural practices; 3) Assess exposures to metals through biomonitoring to link with environmental data; and 4) Identify pathways of primary concern to improve health equity. These outputs will provide community-representative exposure estimates for our three tribal community partners, and will be applied in the animal studies of DNA repair, and population- based association studies of immune function (Research Projects, RP1 and RP2). Coordination with the Administrative Core is central to ensuring that the integration and overall focus of the Center will remain responsive to community concerns and needs. Collaboration with the Community Engagement Core will ensure that findings obtained in all projects will be communicated to the communities to inform actions to mitigate risk. The Center offers an opportunity to translate the findings from all projects in ways that are designed to benefit underserved tribal communities with the goal of enhancing health equity.
