The Community Outreach Core (COC) will work with the Research Translation Core (RTC), with our Advisory Boards in East Chicago, Indiana and Columbus Junction, Iowa and with school principals in Chicago to address their environmental concerns through measurements of airborne PCBs in their communities, integration of these activities with ongoing educational programs, and dissemination of the findings to the communities at large. The Community Advisory Board in Indiana has for several years felt that PCS contamination from industrial sources in its community is a potential health problem. Projects 4 and 6 are outgrowths of these concerns. The detailed exposure measurements in families, homes, schools and around the proposed storage site for the dredging of the Indiana Harbor directly address these issues. Although PCB contamination is of less concern to the communities in Columbus Junction and Chicago, both these groups have a long history of working with project investigators on asthma related projects and are enthusiastic about extending their involvement to examination of airborne PCBs. Measurements in these communities will build upon well developed existing infrastructures, utilizing the resources of the schools and mobile vans in Chicago that regularly visit 43 schools in the city. During the implementation phase of the project we will hire community residents to assist in data collection and educational programs, which will be integrated into existing activities at local schools and community agencies. The Advisory Boards will meet regularly throughout the project, assist in organizing related activities, serve as liaisons with the communities at large, and work with the investigators on dissemination of project findings.

社区外展核心 (COC) 将与研究翻译核心 (RTC) 合作，我们的 印第安纳州东芝加哥和爱荷华州哥伦布章克申的咨询委员会以及学校校长 芝加哥通过测量空气中的多氯联苯来解决他们的环境问题 他们的社区，将这些活动与正在进行的教育计划相结合，以及 将调查结果传播给整个社区。社区咨询委员会 印第安纳州多年来一直认为其社区工业来源的 PCS 污染严重 潜在的健康问题。项目 4 和 6 是这些担忧的产物。详细的 在家庭、住宅、学校以及拟议的储存地点周围进行暴露测量 印第安纳港的疏浚直接解决了这些问题。尽管PCB污染是 对哥伦布枢纽和芝加哥社区的关注较少，这两个群体都有很长的历史 与哮喘相关项目的项目研究者合作的历史，并且热衷于 将他们的参与范围扩大到空气中多氯联苯的检查。这些社区的测量 将建立在完善的现有基础设施的基础上，利用学校的资源和 芝加哥的移动货车定期访问该市的 43 所学校。实施阶段 在该项目中，我们将聘请社区居民协助数据收集和教育 计划，这些计划将纳入当地学校和社区机构的现有活动。 顾问委员会将在整个项目期间定期举行会议，协助组织相关事宜 活动，作为与整个社区的联络，并与调查人员合作 传播项目成果。
