This presentation on ORD's Wildland Fire Smoke Research is part of a session titled "Tackling the Climate Crisis: Highlighting EPA's Multi-pronged approach to Climate Change and Health" at the 1st Annual CAFE Climate and Health Conference. This presentation will highlig...

In a world with increasing environmental hazards, harms, and challenges, environmentally just outcomes require intentional and inclusive risk communication. Standard risk communication uses a deficit approach, sharing scientific information without intentional consideration of co...

The presentation describes the public health impact of particulate matter (PM 2.5) exposures, the strategies to minimize risk, and knowledge gaps that when filled, will help health officials better protect cardiovascular health. The presentation highlights resources available for...

Slides to present about the flooded homes website research project for CESER HSMMD's Emergency Response Research Webinar Series, to federal state and local emergency managers and responders.

Risk assessment is a multidisciplinary approach which underpins decision-making processes in protecting human and environmental health. In the risk assessment paradigm, risk management decisions are informed via a risk characterization which uses scientific knowledge to identify ...

The purpose of these presentation materials is to initiate efforts to conduct a RATE training workshop in India  across several federal organizations covering a wide array of stake holders of interest and concern. RATE activity is core to the CPHEA and ORD. This training had...

The US Environmental Protection Agency is leading a coordinated national effort to protect public health and the environment in the face of increasing likelihood of wildfire ignitions, number of large wildfires (> 100,000 acres), and acres burned. In the Smoke-Ready Toolbox, t...

This presentation provides an overview of my contributions to 6 unique ORD projects designed to advance the knowledgebase related to complex public health issues. The research my team engages in explores effective strategies to support action, strengthen community capacity and re...

Translational approaches to science have the potential to produce research that better meets the needs of community stakeholders and advances scientific research. Researchers involved in translational research make committed efforts to increase engagement and communication with s...

This presentation shares the overview of the informal conversation we are hosting to learn more from partners about the intersection of risk communication about wildfire smoke and environmental justice. 

Brownfield redevelopments take place in many contexts, requiring interactions with diverse communities. Getting to know nearby communities, cultures, and affected populations has a positive effect on redevelopment processes and outcomes. It builds trust, increases buy-in, facilit...

A data-driven approach to characterizing the risk of cyanobacteria-based harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) was undertaken for the Ohio River. Twenty-five years of river discharge data were used to develop Bayesian regression models that are currently applicable to 20 sites spread-...

The COVID-19 outbreaks brought widespread local and state stay-at-home orders and shutdowns across the country. Beginning in late March 2020, all United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) facilities were placed in a Federal Facility Business Continuity Plan or a Continu...

People ultimately choose to go to a place and to engage in a type of recreation at a site based on a number of different aspects, including their perception of the water quality at a site. This work represents the findings from a mail survey and structured focus groups that asked...

Presentation about the recently released flooded homes website for a session on community engagement and environmental research. The focus of the wesbite is to apply disaster anthropology and human-centered design in order to communicate both technical and social responses to flo...

The presentation shares findings from a 2020 publication that examines perspectives on the issue of wildfire smoke using Smoke Sense data. Cluster analysis reveal 5 distint cluster trait perspectives, and that demographics are not a major factor in defining cluster membership. Th...

It is said that Ginger Rogers was a better dancer than Fred Astaire. She had to match him step for step but do it backwards and in high heels. Mixture risk assessments are like Ginger Rogers: they have to address every challenge that single chemical risk assessment has but for mu...

Objective(s) This study explored the feasibility, acceptability, preliminary impact, and functionality of two risk reduction mobile application (app) interventions on asthma outcomes as compared to a control arm during wildfire season. Design Three-arm, 8-week randomized clinic...

This presentation will overview the science of large river HABs and the historical data that was used to develop a risk characterization framework and then a probabilistic prediction of HABs for 20 locations spanning the entire length of the Ohio River. Next, a general overview o...
