Proposed Project
1. A Health Study of Acute Respiratory Outcomes on Staten Island--
New--The purpose of this proposed study is to investigate and determine
whether odor and air pollutants emanating from Fresh Kills Municipal
Landfill are associated with respiratory morbidity among two
populations of adults diagnosed with asthma. The study will involve two
geographically determined cohorts, living on Staten Island. Data
collection will begin with a baseline questionnaire. The study will
continue with a six week follow-up period. Daily diaries will be
utilized to collect self-reported information on variables such as
respiratory-related health outcomes, peak flow measurements, odor
perception, and time spent outdoors. Exposure measurements of ozone,
PM10 and hydrogen sulfide will be collected concurrently. The
statistical analysis will compare health outcome measures (i.e.
symptoms, change in peak flow, etc.) to measurements of odor perception
and other exposure variables. The total annual burden hours are 3,365.
