PROJECT SUMMARY Petroleum extraction is increasingly common in urbanized areas, and yet, epidemiological research on the health consequences for nearby urban residents is sparse. Los Angeles (LA) County, California has the largest urban oilfield in the country and is home to thousands of active oil wells in very close proximity to homes and schools. Few protections are in place to prevent the release of pollutants into nearby residential areas and understanding the impacts to air quality and health among neighbors is urgently needed to inform public health protections. The overall goal of this study is to extend a robust community-academic partnership to assess the health effects of exposures to oil drilling wells and inform public health actions in South LA, a predominantly low-income multiethnic community of color that faces environmental health disparities. To achieve this, the University of Southern California and Occidental College have formed a collaboration with Redeemer Community Partnership, a longstanding neighborhood-based organization in South LA that addresses the health and well-being of local families. Preliminary collaborative research demonstrates episodic oil-related neighborhood air pollution events and adverse impacts on respiratory health among residents living closer to drill sites. The proposed project, the Los AngeleS Voices on Oil, Community, the Environment and Salud study (LAS VOCES), will examine links between urban oil drilling, air quality and respiratory health, and enhance the capacity of the South LA community to take action based on the identified the environmental or health impacts. The proposed collaborative, community-driven project will 1) engaged exposed communities; 2) quantify the impact of oil drilling on air quality using an innovative low-cost sensor network: 3) establish a diverse cohort to assess longitudinal respiratory health of residents living near oil wells in different stages of production; and 4) develop an action- oriented community public health plan leveraging interviews with diverse stakeholders. Our work will fill a critical gap on impacts of urban oil drilling activities on neighborhood respiratory health and air quality through a prospective study, as well as identify how diverse stakeholders might work together to protect public health for vulnerable populations living nearby urban oil drilling. This project will advance community and scientific knowledge through participatory research.

项目摘要 石油提取在城市化地区越来越普遍，但是，关于健康的流行病学研究 附近城市居民的后果很少。加利福尼亚州洛杉矶（洛杉矶）县拥有最大的城市 该国的油田，在非常靠近房屋和学校非常靠近数千个活跃的油井。 很少有保护措施可以防止污染物释放到附近的居民区并理解 迫切需要对邻居中空气质量和健康的影响来为公共卫生保护提供信息。这 这项研究的总体目标是扩展强大的社区学术伙伴关系，以评估 向石油钻井井的暴露并为南洛杉矶的公共卫生行动提供信息，这是主要低收入的 面临环境健康差异的多民族社区。为此，大学 南加州和西方学院已经与救赎主社区合作伙伴关系建立了合作 南洛杉矶一个长期以来的基于社区的组织，以解决当地的健康和福祉 家庭。初步协作研究表明，情节性石油相关的邻里空气污染事件 居住在钻探地点附近的居民中对呼吸健康的不利影响。提议的项目， 洛杉矶关于石油，社区，环境和萨鲁德研究（LAS VOCES）的声音将研究 城市石油钻探，空气质量和呼吸健康之间的联系，并增强南洛杉矶的能力 社区根据确定的环境或健康影响采取行动。提议 协作，社区驱动的项目将1）参与暴露的社区； 2）量化油钻的影响 使用创新的低成本传感器网络上的空气质量：3）建立多样的队列以评估纵向 在不同生产阶段，居住在油井附近的居民的呼吸健康； 4）制定一个动作 - 面向社区公共卫生计划利用了与各种利益相关者的访谈。我们的工作将充满关键 通过A 前瞻性研究，并确定各种利益相关者如何共同努力以保护公共卫生 居住在城市石油钻探附近的脆弱人群。该项目将推进社区和科学 通过参与性研究的知识。
