Moderator: David Fukuzawa, Program Director, The Kresge Foundation (2 hour session) Ports, rail yards and truck corridors are creating increased health, environmental, community and labor costs. Air pollution created by the freight transportation industry is associated with increased asthma in children, cancer, heart attacks, strokes and premature death. Currently, many freight projects go through a public process mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) before they can be approved. In this session, we describe ways communities can influence the NEPA process to ensure the environmental and public health impacts of freight projects are adequately disclosed. We also provide hands-on instruction on community-based participatory research tools including, health impact assessments (HIA), and community-led air quality monitoring and mapping, which can help communities build capacity to address air pollution. | | MP3 | | $20.00 | | $20.00 | |
