Core--Spatial analysis of superfund & toxic relase inven

外展核心将实施一个项目，利用地理信息系统对超级基金和TRI站点进行空间分析，以及化学毒性当量数据，如数量、持久性和毒性，对北卡罗来纳州几个小时国家的暴露热点进行分类。外展核心将把美国人口普查小组的人口统计数据和出生证明记录叠加在超级基金和TRI的数据上，以识别潜在的弱势群体。特别是，纳入美国人口普查的人口因素将决定是否有任何特定群体（即社会经济，种族）在暴露热点中不成比例地代表。分析完成后，外联核心将向州和县卫生部门以及社区组织提供地图以及相关毒理学证据摘要。暴露数据和对有关化学品的现有证据的解释相结合，将使公共卫生专业人员能够更好地为其客户服务，同时使社区能够自我倡导。超级基金外展核心将重点关注北卡罗来纳州的比福特、加斯顿、摩尔和华盛顿县。这些县的选择基于各种特征，包括超级基金和TRI站点的存在，以及与化学品使用、制造或储存相关的工业的当前或以前的存在。虽然正在进行一个关于儿童低水平铅接触的研究项目，但外联核心成员已与州卫生主任以及州政府内的环境卫生司建立了牢固的联系和工作关系。此外，外联核心工作人员还向北卡罗来纳州卫生部长和北卡罗来纳州大会简要介绍了儿童对环境毒物的特殊脆弱性。通过参与这些团体，外展核心还与许多县卫生部门、保健提供者和社区组织建立了联系。

The Outreach Core will implement a project that uses Geographic Information Systems spatial analysis of Superfund and TRI sites as well as chemical toxic equivalency data such as amount, persistence, and toxicity to categorize exposure hotspots in hour countries across North Carolina. The Outreach Core will overlay U.S. Census block group demographic data and birth certificate records on the Superfund and TRI data to identify potentially vulnerable populations. In particular, the inclusion of U.S. Census demographic factors will determine whether any particular group (i.e., socioeconomic, racial) is disproportionately represented in the exposure hotspots. Upon completion of the analysis, the Outreach Core will make the mappings available to state and county health departments as well as community based organizations along with summaries of relevant toxicological evidence. The combination of exposure data and explanation of the current evidence regarding the chemicals in question will allow public health professionals to better serve their clients while simultaneously empowering communities to self- advocate. The Superfund Outreach Core will focus on Beafort, Gaston, Moore, and Washington Counties in North Carolina. The county selections were based on a variety of characteristics including the presence of both Superfund and TRI sites, as well as the current or former presence of industries relating to chemical use, manufacture, or storage. Though an ongoing research project on low-level childhood lead exposure, members of the Outreach Core have established strong connections and working relationships with the State Health Director, as well as the Environmental Health Division within the state government. Additionally, Outreach Core staff have briefed the North Carolina Secretary of Health and the North Carolina General Assembly on children's special vulnerabilities to environmental toxicants. Through involvement with these groups, the Outreach Core has also established ties with many county health departments, health care providers, and community organizations.
