Application of Citizen Science Risk Communication Tools in a Vulnerable Urban Community
Abstract:
A public participatory geographical information systems (PPGIS) demographic, environmental, socioeconomic, health status portal was developed for the Stambaugh-Elwood community in Columbus, OH. A soil study was conducted at SE residences.
Description:
IMPACT. 1: The results demonstrated that eight metals occurred at statistically-significantly greater levels than natural background levels, but most were below risk-based residential soil screening levels. -- 2. This study demonstrates that community-led coalitions in collaboration with academic teams and state agencies can effectively address environmental concerns. -- 3. This data when combined with the USEPA EJ Screen tool data for 43207 suggests that the Stambaugh-Elwood community is vulnerable.
