East Bay Diesel Exposure Project
State health workers and UC Berkeley invite families to
participate in a new project studying air pollution from trucks and other
sources in Oakland, Richmond, and San Pablo. Families with young
children can join the East Bay Diesel Exposure Project (https://biomonitoring.ca.gov/projects/east-bay-diesel-exposure-project).
We will give back individual results to families if asked, and give advice on ways to reduce exposures.
All personal information is confidential. To
thank them for their participation, families will receive $80 in gift cards to
a local store.
This
information is important to protect public health and support efforts to reduce
chemical exposures for all Californians.
