Focus Area: Community Engagement in the Communities

Goals:

(1) Provide technical assistance, under the direction of the NJDEP staff, to SWEA for data interpretation to address environmental public health challenges or problems.

(2) Convene stakeholders to provide input to T.H.E. EJ Lab data and resource needs across the State, particularly in communities and populations identified by the community partners as underserved.

Goals:

(1) Establish a county-wide neighborhood level air monitoring network accessible to County stakeholders.

(2) Build environmental literacy among youth through mobile-based air monitoring to ultimately reduce negative exposures for populations disproportionately burdened by poor air quality in the County. We describe the community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles used in this partnership and  the mobile-based VOC monitoring at IHS.
