Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Community Engagement
  • Risk Communication

Background:

  • Brownfields present complex environmental and socioeconomic challenges in former industrial and military sites.
  • Communities grapple with legacy contamination, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), lead paint, and contaminated groundwater.
  • Public health crises, such as lead in drinking water, exacerbate community concerns and distrust.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe risk communication strategies employed in brownfields communities.
  • To analyze the specific challenges faced by communities with environmental contamination and vacant properties.
  • To inform community capacity building for navigating governmental conversations and securing revitalization funds.

Main Methods:

  • Case study analysis of two Michigan communities: K. I. Sawyer and Benton Harbor.
  • Examination of environmental hazards including PFAS, lead paint, and lead in water.
  • Focus on community concerns and needs regarding risk communication and revitalization.

Main Results:

  • K. I. Sawyer faces concerns over PFAS groundwater plumes, contaminated soil, and lead paint in vacant buildings.
  • Benton Harbor is addressing a legacy of brownfields, vacant properties, and a severe lead water crisis.
  • Both communities demonstrate a growing need for enhanced communication and capacity to engage with local government.

Conclusions:

  • Effective risk communication is crucial for brownfields communities dealing with multiple environmental hazards.
  • Community-led initiatives are vital for addressing environmental justice and securing resources for revitalization.
  • Building community capacity strengthens their ability to advocate for health and environmental improvements.
