Abstract

Until the late 1960's, Jacksonville, Florida incinerated its solid waste with the resultant ash deposited in landfills or used to fill flood-prone areas. These filled areas were later developed into parks, school sites and residential areas. Lead in soil at these sites was the major toxicant of concern and driver of clean-up actions. During the period of assessment of lead-levels in soil, there were no established lines of communication between the City and residents of affected neighborhoods resulting in mistrust in the community. To address communication issues, a community-based, culturally sensitive Community Environmental Toxicology Curriculum (CETC) and a short video were developed for community stakeholders to inform them of risks, health effects, remediation processes and preventive measures. Pre-and post-tests were developed to measure knowledge gained from the toxicology training. Learning gains averaged 47% and 24% for the community leaders and residents respectively. Most participants strongly agreed that the community toxicology curriculum was a useful tool for promoting awareness of environmental risks in their community and addressing the gap in trust between residents and agencies involved in site remediation.

以社区为基础的参与性研究在佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔超级基金灰场:毒理学培训,以提高外行社区的知识。
直到20世纪60年代末,佛罗里达州的杰克逊维尔焚烧其固体废物,产生的灰烬存放在垃圾填埋场或用于填充洪水易发地区。这些被填满的区域后来被发展成公园、学校和住宅区。这些地点土壤中的铅是令人关注的主要有毒物质,也是清理行动的推动力。在评估土壤铅含量期间,市政府与受影响社区的居民之间没有建立沟通渠道,导致社区不信任。为了解决沟通问题,为社区利益攸关方编写了基于社区、对文化敏感的《社区环境毒理学课程》和一个短片,向他们介绍风险、健康影响、补救程序和预防措施。制定了前后测试,以衡量从毒理学培训中获得的知识。社区领导和居民的平均学习收益分别为47%和24%。大多数与会者强烈同意,社区毒理学课程是一个有用的工具,可以提高社区对环境风险的认识,并解决居民与参与场地修复的机构之间的信任差距。
