Places of Pollution, Places of Resilience

Join a team of local healers and investigators in an environmental mapping activity inviting attendees to pinpoint sources of pollution and, separately, points of resilience on a map of Queens. We’ll also be drawing on maps of Queens all day, talking about all our favorite places, and learn about the role that environmental pollution plays in maternal and child health.

CHIMES: Community & Household Infant-Maternal Exposure Study

Understanding the Role of the Environment in Maternal-Child Health is investigating the impact of the environment, beginning in pregnancy, on maternal and child health.

We hope that by studying how structural racism — often reflected in inequitable environmental and housing conditions — affects maternal and child health outcomes, we can shed light on the impact of environmental and neighborhood exposures on the health of both mothers and their children.
