Community Resources
Engaging the community is an important and essential part of our program. Not only do we want to let the public know about the ways in which environmental contaminants (we are focusing on arsenic and mercury) may be harming human health (research translation), we want to involve communities in a two way dialogue to make sure we are designing our investigations and programs to address the questions about which the public is concerned. This communication between our researchers and community members will allow us to:
- Keep you informed about our work;
- Learn about your concerns relating to Arsenic and Mercury;
- Ask for your assistance in defining how our science can help you stay healthy;
- Find out what types of information are most helpful to you;
- Determine how you prioritize health risks.
