The Safe Agricultural Products and Water Graph (SAWGraph) project aims to build and test a knowledge graph as a novel tool for (1) monitoring and tracing Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in our environment, food and water supplies, and for (2) assessing how different communities are exposed to different levels of PFAS-related health risks. PFAS, commonly referred to as "forever chemicals" due to their resistance to degradation, pose significant health risks and have become pervasive in our environment, water supplies, and food chain. Progress on addressing PFAS contamination is hampered by the fragmented nature of relevant data and knowledge. SAWGraph will bring together diverse datasets that span: (1) sites of concerns with known or suspected PFAS contamination, (2) samples of PFAS levels in water, soil, plant and animal tissue, feed, and agricultural food products, and (3) sites and communities that may be at highest risk of exposure. This will be integrated with knowledge from EPA’s CompTox Chemical Dashboard on chemical composition, known toxicity, regulatory status, and properties relevant to transport and fate analysis. To evaluate and facilitate dialogue about SAWGraph, it will be equipped with prototype user interfaces that support query and faceted search, along with offering interactive geo-visualizations and spatial analysis functions.SAWGraph will incorporate data considering social aspects, including PFAS exposure risks in disadvantaged communities, and seek expert input to balance health and economic implications of PFAS contamination, particularly regarding the potential impact on agriculture. In response to the evolving PFAS monitoring and safety regulations, SAWGraph will align its efforts with governmental stakeholders to ensure it remains supportive of the decision-making processes concerning PFAS regulations. To ensure success of the work, the team will partner with federal agency and state-level stakeholders who are key producers, maintainers, and users of PFAS data. Partnerships with stakeholders will enhance the efficacy of tools like SAWGraph in informing PFAS-related decisions, with the aid of stakeholder expertise for data access, processing, and interpretation. Through continuous interaction and collaboration with these partners and additional stakeholders, the project seeks to secure widespread buy-in and support, ensuring the graph's long-term success and sustainability beyond the project's duration.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

安全的农产品和水图（Sawgraph）项目旨在在我们的环境，食品和水供应中构建和测试知识图作为（1）监测和追踪人类和多氟烷基物质（PFA），以及（2）评估不同社区如何将不同社区暴露于PFAS较高的健康状况不同的水平。 PFA，通常称为“永远的化学物质”，因为它们对降解的抵抗力，构成了重大的健康风险，并且在我们的环境，供水和食物链中变得普遍。相关数据和知识的分散性质阻碍了解决PFA污染的进展。 Sawgraph将汇总到跨越的潜水数据集：（1）关注或怀疑的PFAS污染的关注点，（2）水，土壤，动植物组织中PFAS水平的样本，饲料和农业食品以及（3）可能有可能受到暴露风险的最高风险的地点和社区。这将与EPA的Comptox Chemical仪表板的知识集成到有关化学成分，已知毒性，调节状态以及与运输和脂肪分析相关的特性的知识。为了评估和促进有关锯齿图的对话，它将等同于支持查询和面积搜索的原型用户界面，以及提供互动性的地理访问性和空间分析功能的交互式，持久性的数据包括在包括社会方面的数据，包括在包括PFAS的风险中，以及在范围内涉及PFAS的风险，以及在损害社区中的范围和经济影响，以及PFS的范围，以及均衡范围的范围，均衡的是，PFS的范围和经济均衡，并均衡。同意。为了应对不断发展的PFA监测和安全法规，Sawgraph将与政府利益相关者保持一致，以确保其支持有关PFAS法规的决策过程。为了确保工作的成功，团队将与联邦机构和州级利益相关者合作，他们是PFAS数据的主要生产者，维护者和用户。与利益相关者的合作伙伴关系将提高诸如Sawgraph之类的工具效率，并借助利益相关者专业知识来访问与PFA相关的决策，以进行数据访问，处理和解释。通过与这些合作伙伴以及其他利益相关者的持续互动和合作，该项目旨在确保宽泛的买入和支持，确保该图表超出该项目的长期成功和可持续性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并被视为珍贵的支持。
