This $440,770 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program will fund a rapid research study on the "Community Health and Air Quality Implications of Refinery Retirements in Los Angeles (CHAIRS-LA)". The study aims to examine the impact of the planned retirement of two petroleum refineries in the South Bay region of Los Angeles on air pollutant exposures and respiratory health outcomes among a cohort of 150 adult community residents. The longitudinal study will measure participant data at three time points - before refinery closure, and one and two years after. Key deliverables include questionnaire data on acute respiratory, dermal, gastrointestinal, and neurological symptoms, as well as lung function assessments. This time-sensitive research project builds upon partnerships between the research team at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and local community organizations to rapidly generate evidence that can inform policies and interventions related to the public health implications of major industrial facility transitions.
