the CDC Reports Clearance Office on (404) 639-7090. Send written

Proposed Project

    1. A Health Study of Acute Respiratory Outcomes on Staten Island--
New--The purpose of this proposed study is to investigate and determine 
whether odor and air pollutants emanating from Fresh Kills Municipal 
Landfill are associated with respiratory morbidity among two 
populations of adults diagnosed with asthma. The study will involve two 
geographically determined cohorts, living on Staten Island. Data 
collection will begin with a baseline questionnaire. The study will 
continue with a six week follow-up period. Daily diaries will be 
utilized to collect self-reported information on variables such as 
respiratory-related health outcomes, peak flow measurements, odor 
perception, and time spent outdoors. Exposure measurements of ozone, 
PM10 and hydrogen sulfide will be collected concurrently. The 
statistical analysis will compare health outcome measures (i.e. 
symptoms, change in peak flow, etc.) to measurements of odor perception 
and other exposure variables. The total annual burden hours are 3,365.
