Investigating the Impact of Soil NO x on Air Quality in Rural Agricultural Communities
Disadvantaged communities in rural agricultural areas throughout the San Joaquin Valley (SJVAB) and Salton Sea Air Basins (SSAB) disproportionately bear the impacts of poor air quality, despite years of regulatory efforts to reduce pollution from combustion sources. Evidence shows that there is an overlooked, unregulated pollution source affecting these areas. The influence of soil NO x emissions on air pollution in agricultural regions has come …
Hydrosocial imaginaries of green extractivism
Community engagement and adequate consultation are key components in a just water-energy transition. • Equitable distribution of taxes is a step toward the idea of “extractive recovery.” • Community benefits agreements should be considered a “floor” expectation. • Examination of geothermal lithium development offers a critical lens on the water-energy nexus. • Collaborative research and action for environmental justice may interrogate green extra…
Xylazine and Overdoses
Xylazine is a nonopioid veterinary anesthetic and sedative that is increasingly detected in the illicit drug supply in the United States. Data indicate a striking prevalence of xylazine among opioid-involved overdose deaths. The emergence of xylazine in the illicit drug supply poses many unknowns and potential risks for people who use drugs. The public health system needs to respond by increasing testing to determine the prevalence of xylazine, i…
Community-Engaged Air Monitoring to Build Resilience Near the US-Mexico Border
Initiated in response to community concerns about high levels of air pollution and asthma, the Imperial County Community Air Monitoring Project was conducted as a collaboration between a community-based organization, a non-governmental environmental health program, and academic researchers. This community-engaged research project aimed to produce real-time, community-level air quality information through the establishment of a community air monit…
Developing Youth Environmental Health Literacy and Civic Leadership through Community Air Monitoring in Imperial County, California
With a rapidly changing climate, new leaders must be trained to understand and act on emerging environmental threats. In California's Imperial Valley, a collaborative of community members, researchers, and scientists developed a community air monitoring network to provide local residents with better air quality information. To expand the reach of the project and to prepare the next generation of youth leaders we developed an internship program to…
Next-Generation Community Air Quality Sensors for Identifying Air Pollution Episodes
Conventional regulatory air quality monitoring sites tend to be sparsely located. The availability of lower-cost air pollution sensors, however, allows for their use in spatially dense community monitoring networks, which can be operated by various stakeholders, including concerned residents, organizations, academics, or government agencies. Networks of many community monitors have the potential to fill the spatial gaps between existing governmen…
Assessment of Respiratory Health Symptoms and Asthma in Children near a Drying Saline Lake
Residents of the Imperial Valley, a rural, agricultural border region in California, have raised concerns over high rates of pediatric asthma symptoms. There is an urgent need to understand the influences and predictors of children's respiratory health in Imperial Valley. We assessed the impacts of sociodemographic, lifestyle, and household factors on children's respiratory health and asthma prevalence by administering a survey to parents of elem…
Combining Community Engagement and Scientific Approaches in Next-Generation Monitor Siting
Air pollution continues to be a global public health threat, and the expanding availability of small, low-cost air sensors has led to increased interest in both personal and crowd-sourced air monitoring. However, to date, few low-cost air monitoring networks have been developed with the scientific rigor or continuity needed to conduct public health surveillance and inform policy. In Imperial County, California, near the U.S./Mexico border, we use…
