Description
The
Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR) Community Health Projects (CHP) Related to Contamination at
Brownfield/Land Reuse Sites purpose is to increase responsive public health
actions by promoting healthy and safe environments and preventing harmful
exposures related to contamination at Brownfield/Land Reuse Sites. Brownfields
are defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as
"property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be
complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance,
pollutant, or contaminant". Land reuse site is any property that is being
redeveloped for a different purpose from their former use. EPA estimates that
there are over 450,000 Brownfield sites in the United States. Addressing public
health concerns and issues associated with restoration of contaminated
properties is essential. ATSDR’s mission is to serve the public through
responsive public health actions to promote healthy and safe environments and
prevent harmful exposures. Sites such as Brownfield/Land Reuse sites may have
potentially harmful exposures from contamination from previous site uses.
Community health projects that address impacts of contamination at
Brownfield/Land Reuse sites further ATSDR’s public health mission to promote
healthy and safe environments and prevent harmful exposures. These projects
will have a particular emphasis on identifying health issues prior to
redevelopment and/or assessing changes in community health associated with
reuse plans and redevelopment.
