SUMMARY Over the past decade, the rapid growth of the logistics industry has brought about a vast rise in mega-warehouse developments in Southern California, specifically in the Inland Empire (I.E.). This region once known as the ‘Orange Empire’ for its vast agricultural and citrus lands is now third in the United States (U.S.) for mega- warehouse occupancies, spanning approximately 174 million square feet of industrial space. Warehouse developments come with significant disruption to the local land use, including increased traffic congestion, noise, depreciation of property value, and magnifying local air pollution. The logistical activities associated with warehouses have become a major cause of industrial emissions and progressing environmental pollution. There is limited research on the environmental and health impact of warehouses. Additionally, to our knowledge, there has not been a study examining the impact that warehouses and associated logistical activities have on the health outcomes of neighboring communities. The Inland Empire Warehouse Development and Children’s Respiratory Health study seeks to leverage a community-engaged approach to evaluate the impact of warehouses and warehouse-related logistical activities on children’s respiratory health. The diversity supplement aims to: 1) advance community capacity to conduct research and increase engagement and understanding of exposure risks, environmental health, and risk factors impacting the respiratory health of children through popular education workshops, and 2) evaluate the association between the density and proximity to warehouses and the respiratory health symptoms of elementary school-aged children. This planned data analysis will contribute to the understanding of warehouses and warehouse-related logistical activities and respiratory health among children, community concern, and one of the overall goals of the Southern California Environmental Health Sciences Center (SCEHSC) parent grant. The Candidate will enhance community-engaged research skills and gain training in environmental epidemiological methods. She will strive to promote Environmental Health Literacy among all participants and stakeholders through the translation of findings from this diversity supplement and the parent grant. The objectives align with the SCEHSC aims, advancing scientific research, promoting community engagement, advancing translational research, and training new researchers. The completion of this diversity supplement will provide critical insight into warehouse developments and their impact on air pollution, coupled with expanding our understanding of how the proximity to and density of warehouse facilities impacts respiratory health in children. This study will be among the first to examine the relationship between warehouses to childhood and longitudinal respiratory health symptom outcomes. The training will position the Candidate to pursue an independent academic career and make significant contributions to the field of exposure disparities and health outcomes among environmental justice communities.

概括 近十年来，物流业的快速发展带来了超大型仓库的大量崛起 南加州的发展，特别是内陆帝国（I.E.），该地区曾经被称为“内陆帝国”。 “橙色帝国”因其广阔的农业和柑橘土地而目前在美国（U.S.）的大型农业和柑橘种植园中排名第三。 仓库占用面积约 1.74 亿平方英尺。 开发项目对当地土地使用造成了严重干扰，包括交通拥堵、噪音、 财产价值贬值，并加剧与当地空气污染相关的物流活动。 仓库已成为工业排放和环境污染加剧的主要原因。 关于仓库对环境和健康影响的研究有限。 还没有一项研究检验仓库和相关物流活动对 邻近社区的健康成果。 呼吸健康研究旨在利用社区参与的方法来评估 仓库及与仓库相关的物流活动对儿童呼吸系统健康的多样性补充。 旨在： 1) 提高社区开展研究的能力并增加参与和理解 通过流行的接触风险、环境健康和影响儿童呼吸系统健康的风险因素 教育讲习班，2) 评估仓库的密度和邻近程度与 这项计划的数据分析将有助于了解小学生的呼吸道健康症状。 了解仓库和仓库相关的物流活动以及呼吸系统健康 儿童、社区问题以及南加州环境健康局的总体目标之一 科学中心 (SCEHSC) 家长资助将提高社区参与的研究技能和 她将努力提高环境健康素养，接受环境流行病学方法的培训。 通过翻译这份多样性补充的调查结果，在所有人和利益相关者之间进行交流 家长资助的目标与 SCEHSC 的目标一致，即推进科学研究、促进 社区参与、推进转化研究和培训新研究人员。 多样性补充将为仓库开发及其对空气污染的影响提供重要见解， 再加上加深我们对仓库设施的邻近性和密度如何影响的了解 这项研究将是第一个研究仓库之间关系的研究。 培训将使候选人能够适应儿童期和纵向呼吸道健康症状的结果。 追求独立的学术生涯，并为暴露差异领域做出重大贡献 和环境正义社区的健康成果。
