Prioritizing community environmental concerns with a hybrid approach to multi-criteria decision-making – a case study of Newport News, Virginia, USA
Local communities can play a very important role in evaluating their environmental conditions and in developing innovative, practical, and effective solutions to improve community environmental health. Thus, community involvement in decision-making is one of the keys to improving environmental and public health. However, such a process is unquestionably complicated and demands well-organized collaboration between local communities and authoritati…
Advice and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Citizen-Science Environmental Health Assessments
Citizen science provides quantitative results to support environmental health assessments (EHAs), but standardized approaches do not currently exist to translate findings into actionable solutions. The emergence of low-cost portable sensor technologies and proliferation of publicly available datasets provides unparalleled access to supporting evidence; yet data collection, analysis, interpretation, visualization, and communication are subjective …
A Citizen Science and Government Collaboration: Developing Tools to Facilitate Community Air Monitoring
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is actively involved in supporting citizen science projects and providing communities with information and assistance for conducting their own air pollution monitoring. As part of a Regional Applied Research Effort (RARE) project, EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) worked collaboratively with EPA Region 2 and the Ironbound Community Corporation (ICC) in Newark, New Jersey, to develop and …
Connecting the Dots: Linking Environmental Justice Indicators to Daily Dose Model Estimates
Many different quantitative techniques have been developed to either assess Environmental Justice (EJ) issues or estimate exposure and dose for risk assessment. However, very few approaches have been applied to link EJ factors to exposure dose estimate and identify potential impacts of EJ factors on dose-related variables. The purpose of this study is to identify quantitative approaches that incorporate conventional risk assessment (RA) dose mode…
Community, State, and Federal Approaches to Cumulative Risk Assessment: Challenges and Opportunities for Integration
Community, state, and federal approaches to conventional and cumulative risk assessment (CRA) were described and compared to assess similarities and differences, and develop recommendations for a consistent CRA approach, acceptable across each level as a rigorous scientific methodology, including partnership formation and solution development as necessary practices. Community, state, and federal examples were described and then summarized based o…
Linking Socio-Economic Status, Adverse Health Outcome, and Environmental Pollution Information to Develop a Set of Environmental Justice Indicators with Three Case Study Applications
Environmental justice (EJ) indicators, including a number of parameters ranging from pollutant concentrations to socio-economic status, were compiled for three case study locations that have a documented history of EJ issues. Instead of consolidating the 14 EJ indicators into a single metric, they are displayed separately to facilitate comparisons at four different spatial scales to allow characterization of local, city, county, and state environ…
The Environmental Protection Agency's Community-Focused Exposure and Risk Screening Tool (C-FERST) and Its Potential Use for Environmental Justice Efforts
Objectives. Our primary objective was to provide higher quality, more accessible science to address challenges of characterizing local-scale exposures and risks for enhanced community-based assessments and environmental decision-making. Methods. After identifying community needs, priority environmental issues, and current tools, we designed and populated the Community-Focused Exposure and Risk Screening Tool (C-FERST) in collaboration with stakeh…
