Linking Public Health and Sustainability Efforts
Youth-led research and outreach pushing for healthier and sustainable practices
Upcoming Projects!
Environmental Disparities in Undeserved Communities:
Research how marginalized communities, especially individuals near Data Centers, are affected.
- Less privileged communities are more likely to live near sources of pollution, such as factories and data centers, increasing daily exposure to harmful substances.
- Limited access to clean air and safe drinking water negatively affects one’s health; higher rates of conditions like asthma and other chronic illnesses develop.
- Long-term exposure and limited resources can reduce overall quality of life, including educational outcomes, productivity, and life expectancy.
Carcinogen Exposure and Health Outcomes
Carcinogen Policies hold many flaws, and through our upcoming project on these policies, we will conduct research on how to:
- Make chemical regulation faster and more preventive, so harmful substances are restricted before widespread exposure.
- Strengthen workplace and air quality protections to better limit long-term exposure to carcinogens.
- Increase oversight of consumer products and drinking water to ensure safer everyday environments.
- Invest more in cleaning up contaminated sites and preventing future environmental pollution.
