• Description:
  The Southern Coastal Agromedicine Center (SCAC or the Center) is a NIOSH funded component of the North Carolina Agromedicine Institute (NCAI or the Institute). The Institute is chartered by the University of North Carolina Board of Governors as an inter-institutional Institute. East Carolina University (ECU), North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NCAT), and North Carolina State University (NCSU) are its constituent members. The SCAC afforded the Institute the ability to extend its service area beyond North Carolina to include Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. These states/territories face many common agromedicine issues related to climate, common crops, strong timber and commercial fishing industries, a common migrant stream, and endemic rural poverty. During the period of NIOSH support, the SCAC has addressed many significant agricultural health and safety problems and concerns among the southeastern region's farmers, foresters, fishers and their families. Table A lists the 41 projects funded by the Center during the period of NIOSH support. Since its inception the scope of the Center program has been comprehensive and highly relevant to workers in agriculture, forestry and fisheries. However, several important themes have provided a focus for the program. They are minority and migrant health, pesticide safety and accident prevention, all of which have been treated in research, education and prevention projects. At the end of 2007 the center provided to the NIOSH project officer a comprehensive evidence package (as a hard copy) containing samples of all products resulting from Center projects to that date. Due to the comprehensive nature of the evidence package, the NIOSH program officer recommended that the Center provide only summary information in this final report. [Description provided by NIOSH]
