Industrial Lead Poisoning in Los Angeles
The recent environmental tragedy in Flint, Michigan, where lead-contaminated drinking water raised fears of potential health effects for exposed children, revealed the failure of a regulatory system to protect residents from lead exposure. Flint is clearly not alone as a community of color where residents are disproportionately exposed to lead from paint, dust, soil, or water. In southeast Los Angeles County, California, a facility that recycled …
Global Trade, Local Impacts
Global trade has increased nearly 100-fold since 1950, according to the World Trade Organization. Today, major changes in trade are occurring with the advent of mega-ships that can transport thousands more containers than cargo ships now in use. Because global trade is expected to increase dramatically, the railroad industry-in the U.S. alone-has invested more than $5 billion a year over the past decade to expand rail yards and enhance rail route…
The (Trade, Health, Environment) Impact Project
For decades, goods movement (the transportation of imported goods) in California has had detrimental consequences for the predominantly low income and minority residents living close to the marine ports, rail yards, and connecting highways. Although the California Air Resources Board estimates that goods movement in the state is responsible for an estimated 2,400 premature deaths annually, the impacts of this sector were not widely recognized unt…
Global Goods Movement and the Local Burden of Childhood Asthma in Southern California
Objectives. As part of a community-based participatory research effort, we estimated the preventable burden of childhood asthma associated with air pollution in the southern California communities of Long Beach and Riverside. Methods. We calculated attributable fractions for 2 air pollution reduction scenarios to include assessment of the newly recognized health effects associated with residential proximity to major roads and impact from ship emi…
Breathless in Los Angeles
Population growth and the proliferation of roadways in Southern California have facilitated a glut of mobile air pollution sources (cars and trucks), resulting in substantial atmospheric pollution. Despite successful efforts over the past 40 years to reduce pollution, an alarming set of health effects attributable to air pollution have been described in Southern California. The Children’s Health Study indicates that reduced lung function growth, …
