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.
