The Community Engagement Core works with Pacific Northwest tribes to evaluate chemical exposures that impact tribal health and engage in culturally appropriate risk reduction. Recent projects include (1) measuring tribesmembers' exposure to PAHs from traditionally smoking salmon and determining how these chemicals are processed in the body, and (2) monitoring contaminants in tribal shellfish beds using passive sampling devices to protect this important resource and identify risks. The Core is developing a Virtual Tribal Lab Consortium to share environmental health resources between tribes, universities, and the EPA to enable tribal communities to conduct their own studies.
