• Description:
  In recent years, there has been an increase in public awareness of potential health effects related to releases of hazardous chemicals into the environment. Community members have become more active in advocating for their own safety and for education about what risks chemical releases pose to their communities. Particular concern has arisen about the safety of children in the school setting. In order to identify any trends or relationships in reports of school-related environmental exposures, the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH), Office of Public Health (OPH), Section of Environmental Epidemiology and Toxicology (SEET) reviewed ten years of data from five databases. The resulting summary will be used to make recommendations for "best practices" to reduce risks of exposures. [Description provided by NIOSH]
