Abstract

The Mobile Lead Testing Unit (MLTU), coordinated by the Newark Water Coalition (NWC) and the University of California, Berkeley researchers, sought to measure and educate community members on the sources of lead exposure within the home by conducting field analysis on lead in paint, water, soil, and dust. Throughout our project spanning design, outreach, education and training, methodological design, analysis, and evaluations, the MLTU instilled, executed, and added to the principles of community-owned and managed research projects. The primary data collected will be used to build an exposure model and to support the NWC in their advocacy. Our community voice paper presents our reflections on the nuanced, unforeseen, and complexities of community-driven science and attempts to forge a path toward democratizing knowledge and science while fighting for environmental justice.

纽瓦克水联盟的社区科学家为社区拥有和管理的研究项目带来了新的曙光:移动领导倡议

移动铅测试单元(MLTU)由纽瓦克水联盟(NWC)和加州大学伯克利分校的研究人员协调，通过对油漆、水、土壤和灰尘中的铅进行现场分析，试图测量和教育社区成员关于家庭铅暴露的来源。在我们的项目跨越设计、推广、教育和培训、方法设计、分析和评估的过程中，MLTU灌输、执行并增加了社区拥有和管理研究项目的原则。收集到的主要数据将用于建立一个曝光模型，并支持国家妇女委员会的宣传工作。我们的社区声音文件提出了我们对社区驱动科学的微妙、不可预见和复杂性的反思，并试图在为环境正义而战的同时，开辟一条通往知识和科学民主化的道路。

期刊介绍： Environmental Justice, a quarterly peer-reviewed journal, is the central forum for the research, debate, and discussion of the equitable treatment and involvement of all people, especially minority and low-income populations, with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. The Journal explores the adverse and disparate environmental burden impacting marginalized populations and communities all over the world. Environmental Justice draws upon the expertise and perspectives of all parties involved in environmental justice struggles: communities, industry, academia, government, and nonprofit organizations.
