项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT To address the potential environmental and health implications of oil development in close-proximity community exposures of vulnerable populations, we propose to study a community in Los Angeles CA in which an existing intra-community oil drilling facility, dormant for several years, is about to resume drilling operations. Prior site operations have been associated with numerous health and air quality complaints, but the site has since undergone remediation. Assorted prior health and air quality effects have not been systematically and objectively documented as could be accomplished in the proposed study design. Six hundred community residents (~200 children aged 5-17yrs, ~200 adults aged 18-45yrs, and ~200 older adults >45yrs) will be enrolled by community health promotoras to assess both objective and subjective health outcomes in a prospective repeated-measures study design. On two occasions (once prior to and once following site drilling operations), participants will perform maximal-effort spirometry, complete self-administered symptom surveys, and have assorted anthropomorphic data (height, weight, blood pressure) measured to document health status. Over this same time-interval, both active and passive air quality samplers will be deployed throughout the community to measure airborne levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), H2S, and several pollutants of regulatory concern (ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide). A quality-of-life multi-day diary assessment will also be collected on a subset of the study participant population. These multiple pathways of data will be collected using a community-based participatory research strategy. The project will substantively engage and include the community partner (Esperanza Community Housing Corporation) into an academic research team of investigators (led by USC researchers) to assess potential health and environmental impacts on this largely Latino Los Angeles neighborhood. This project will evaluate the impact of oil drilling operations on community health by relating health and air quality measurements collected before and after resumption of oil drilling operations. This time-sensitive research opportunity will provide credible data to address the impact of oil drilling operations on the environmental health status of an under-served community of color in one of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas.
