Organochlorines in New York and the Hudson River: Sources, Environmental Distribution, and Health Risks

Community Outreach

Description

The goal of the Mount Sinai Superfund Basic Research Program Outreach Core is to inform and empower stakeholders of the Hudson River to address the problem of persistent chemical contaminants. The Outreach Core translates the results of scientific research into programs that can be useful for communities affected by Hudson River contamination. We conduct activities in communication, education, and technology transfer. We also serve as a scientific information resource and encourage community participation in the various studies being undertaken by Superfund scientists. Directed by Luz Claudio, Ph.D., staff of the Outreach Core hold educational workshops, give presentations at community events, and update residents about scientific findings affecting their communities.
