The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $417,878 Project Grant (CFDA 93.113 - Environmental Health) to Research Triangle Institute (RTI International) to conduct a comprehensive environmental and public health monitoring study in disadvantaged communities in Sampson and Duplin Counties, North Carolina. The study aims to establish a baseline assessment of environmental exposures and health outcomes prior to the expansion of swine waste-to-energy operations in the region.

The project will utilize a community-engaged approach to collect longitudinal data on air quality, private well water quality, and community health and quality of life indicators. RTI is partnering with a trusted local community action group to co-develop the data collection processes. The baseline data and study findings will be shared with the community, industry stakeholders, and state officials to inform future monitoring and decision-making related to the swine waste-to-energy transitions. The project also includes a sub-award to the Environmental Justice Community Action Network to support community engagement and capacity building efforts.
