Cumulative Exposures and Community-Based Science: Odor, Chemicals, Air pollutants, Noise, and More
Session ID#: 159812
Session Description:
Today, communities are concerned about their exposure to multiple hazards, often with little information on how to assess and prioritize potential risks. This session aims to uplift research that develops useful data, methods, tools, and results that can be leveraged by communities to identify and address locally relevant concerns. We welcome studies at the interface of environmental and social science that incorporate citizen science or community-based approaches and/or are concerned with environmental justice issues that seek to achieve this aim. Special consideration will be given to studies that involve local communities in the design phase by incorporating local knowledge and expertise to enhance project outcomes. We invite presentations covering a wide range of environmental exposures from the local to the global scale ranging from the impacts of proximity to construction sites, oil and gas facilities, animal farming, aquifer contamination, wildfires and other climate-related risks.
