项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract, Community Engagement Core The overall goal of the METALS Community Engagement Core (CEC) is to direct prevention and intervention strategies to ensure that residents and leaders of our partner communities are involved in every step of the research at the community level and that researchers are engaged in and with the communities. CEC synergizes Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and Western Scientific methods to increase understanding of multiple-pathway exposures to abandoned uranium mine (AUM) wastes and inform strategies to reduce releases of hazardous substances – such as uranium, vanadium, arsenic and other metals -- thereby reducing human exposures. Our current community partners are Blue Gap-Tachee Chapter of the Navajo Nation in northeastern AZ; Pueblo of Laguna, N.M.; and Red Water Pond Road Community Association on the Navajo Nation near Gallup, NM. A new community partner – the Cameron Agricultural Ad Hoc Committee (CAAHC), a project of Cameron Chapter of the Navajo Nation – joined the METALS SRP as a result of a long history of collaborations with METALS partner Southwest Research and Information Center (SRIC). All four are impacted by AUMs that date back to the 1950s, range in size from a few acres to 2,700 acres (the Jackpile open-pit mine on Laguna Pueblo), and have had varying levels of remediation, from virtually none to measures that reduce immediate safety hazards at the mine sites, but are lacking long-term control of waste piles and hazardous substances releases. Like the Pueblo of Laguna, CAAHC is developing farming in an area surrounded by abandoned uranium mines (AUMs) and is concerned about impacts of the AUMs on the safety of crops grown on the farmlands. CEC collaborates with the METALS environmental projects to collect meteorological and particulate matter (PM) data to inform air-dispersion modeling and toxicity assessments of submicron dust particles, and with the biomedical projects to assist in conducting health surveys and biospecimen collections among community members to assess their exposures to toxic trace metals. Staff of SRIC and METALS partner Indigenous Education Institute form the CEC’s Indigenous Science Team (IST) that works closely with these communities, linking them with UNM researchers in the environmental and biological sciences and research translation. The IST will hold quarterly webinars featuring Native scholars discussing how principles of Indigenous Science can be applied to remediation of abandoned uranium mines to supplement innovative remediation strategies proposed by METALS Project ESE Remed and the routine clean-up methods proffered by USEPA under authority of the Superfund law. Online workshops on remediation science and policy will empower our community partners to be full participants in remediation decisions by federal and tribal regulatory agencies. The webinars will aim to create a space for collaborative design processes, TEK formulations, and place-based strategies for reducing impacts to community partners’ agricultural lands and water. In this work, CEC addresses NIEHS SRP mandates 2 and 4.

项目摘要/摘要，社区参与核心 METALS 社区参与核心 (CEC) 的总体目标是指导预防和干预确保我们合作伙伴社区的居民和领导人参与每一步的战略社区层面的研究，研究人员参与社区并与社区合作。协同传统生态知识（TEK）和西方科学方法以增进理解废弃铀矿 (AUM) 废物的多途径暴露，并为减少有害物质的释放——例如铀、钒、砷和其他金属——从而减少我们目前的社区合作伙伴是纳瓦霍族的 Blue Gap-Tachee 分会。亚利桑那州东北部；新墨西哥州拉古纳的普韦布洛；以及纳瓦霍河上的红水池路社区协会新墨西哥州盖洛普附近的一个新社区合作伙伴——卡梅伦农业特设委员会 (CAAHC) 纳瓦霍族卡梅伦分会的项目 – 由于悠久的历史而加入 METALS SRP 与 METALS 合作伙伴西南研究和信息中心 (SRIC) 的合作所有四个都受到影响。可以追溯到 20 世纪 50 年代的 AUM，规模从几英亩到 2,700 英亩不等（Jackpile 露天矿）普韦布洛湖 (Laguna Pueblo) 上的矿井），并进行了不同程度的补救措施，从几乎没有到采取措施减少矿场的直接安全隐患，但缺乏对废物堆放的长期控制与拉古纳的普韦布洛一样，CAAHC 正在一个地区发展农业。周围环绕着废弃铀矿（AUM），并担心 AUM 对安全的影响 CEC 与 METALS 环境项目合作收集农田种植的农作物。气象和颗粒物 (PM) 数据可为空气扩散建模和毒性评估提供信息亚微米灰尘颗粒，并与生物医学项目一起协助进行健康调查和收集社区成员的生物样本，以评估他们接触有毒微量金属的情况。 SRIC 和 METALS 合作伙伴土著教育研究所组成了 CEC 的土著科学团队 (IST)，与这些社区密切合作，将他们与新墨西哥大学环境和生物领域的研究人员联系起来 IST 将每季度举办一次网络研讨会，由本土学者进行讨论。如何将本土科学原理应用于废弃铀矿的修复补充 METALS Project ESE Remed 提出的创新修复策略和常规美国环境保护局根据超级基金法在线研讨会提供的清理方法。修复科学和政策将使我们的社区合作伙伴能够充分进行修复联邦和部落监管机构的决定旨在创造一个合作空间。设计流程、TEK 配方和基于地点的策略，以减少对社区合作伙伴的影响在这项工作中，CEC 解决了 NIEHS SRP 任务 2 和 4。
