The Technical Guidance for Assessing Environmental Justice in Regulatory Analysis (Guidance) addresses the issue of how to analytically consider environmental justice in regulatory analyses. It directs EPA analysts to assess whether environmental justice concerns exist prior to...

This sub-product will produce outreach materials such as presentations, peer-reviewed journal articles or EPA reports to disseminate results from the testing and evaluations conducted in the primary research area product SHC.402.6.5. To align with these activities, the proposed a...

Communities across the world are experiencing a myriad of impacts from intensifying extreme heat, flood, drought, and wildfire events due to climate change. Further impacts can be experienced due to nearby contaminated sites and waste management facilities that are either activel...

High-level overview of the types of nature-based strategies suggested for Crisfield based on matching known success criteria for storm surge and erosion prevention from the literature with conditions in different parts of Crisfield's offshore ecosystems and marshlands. Includes g...

The toxic equivalency factors (TEFs) approach for dioxin-like chemicals (DLCs) is currently based on a qualitative assessment of a heterogeneous data set of relative estimates of potency (REPs) spanning several orders of magnitude with highly variable study quality and relevance....

This study uses Zillow&rsquo;s ZTRAX property transaction database to investigate variation in hedonic price effects for lake water quality throughout the United States. We consider different market boundary definitions at five spatial scales and estimate models using different c...

Members of the Puente Jobos community in Puerto Rico shared with EPA concerns they have about particulate matter in their community and whether the location of the regulatory air monitoring site represents the community's exposure. EPA developed a research study design that invol...

This is a dataset in the form of an Excel Spreadsheet. This research was conducted on request from OTAQ (TOCOR for related project was Michael Aldridge), but principle recipients of data will be researchers at CARB and University of California Riverside. The dataset includes quan...

If goals set under the Paris Agreement are met, the world may hold warming well below 2°C (1); however, parties are not on track to deliver these commitments (2), increasing focus on policy implementation to close the gap between ambition and action. Recently, the US government p...

Communities across the United States are enduring, often unexpectedly, the effects of extreme events, such as excessive heat, prolonged droughts, extreme floods, and wildfires. In places where contaminated sites and waste management facilities are also present, communities must c...

In 2020, 13.8 million people in the United States struggled with food security. &nbsp;This means they were uncertain whether their food needs would be met. Where someone lives can influence struggles with food security. Food deserts are census tracts that experience both high rat...

Despite nationwide reductions in ambient air pollution levels in recent decades, some criteria air pollutants (fine particulate matter (PM2.5), ozone (O3)) continue to cause morbidity and mortality, particularly among specific racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups.&nbsp; Cumulat...

Building community resilience requires centering equity in resilience planning processes. Tools and resources for strengthening community resilience need to address equity in both their content and the process for using them. This is especially so for communities living in proxim...

Understanding how heat waves affect morbidity and mortality, as well as the associated economic costs, is essential for characterizing the human health impacts of extreme heat under a changing climate. Only a handful of studies have examined healthcare costs associated with expos...

Background Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is a non-envelope, RNA virus that is transmitted through the fecal-oral route by direct contact or ingestion of contaminated food or water. HAV infections typically are diagnosed with the use of invasive and expensive serological assays.&nbsp;In...

Background: &nbsp;Assessing exposures to environmentally transmitted pathogens is essential to mitigating the burden of disease globally. A prominent area of concern is the association of fecal contamination and the risk of gastrointestinal illnesses. This aimed to determine the ...

Advocacy: Urban Native Collective (UNC)&rsquo;s advocacy strategy is centered around education and partnerships that promote a clear path towards acknowledging and overcoming racial biases while establishing a deeper understanding of Indigenous culture. We advocate for solidarity...

This presentation will orient undergraduate students to ongoing air quality research in Robeson County and EPA tools for air quality research. The students will be expected to contribute to this research as part of their studies at UNC's department of Environmental Sciences and E...

This is a presentation about the overarching research proposal for the Tribal Cumultive Impacts (TCI) to be given to the Indian Health Services. I will co-present this presentation with our partners, the Bad River Band.

In 2005, the World Health Organization (WHO) re-evaluated Toxic Equivalency factors (TEFs) developed for dioxin-like compounds believed to act through the Ah receptor based on an updated database of relative estimated potency (REP)(REP2004&nbsp;database). This re-evalution identi...

This presentation provides an overview of community-based air pollution research for members of the ACRS subcommittee, an interagency workgroup of federal air pollution and community health researchers. Most workgroup members are scientists who are experts in air pollutant measur...
