Soil-Pica, Soil-Ingestion and Health

Outcome Investigation Site-Specific

Health Activities; Notice of Availability

of Funds

A. Purpose

The Agency for Toxic Substances and

Disease Registry (ATSDR) announces

the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2001

funds for a cooperative agreement

program to conduct a site-specific

activity health outcome investigation for

the Vasquez Boulevard and I–70 (VBI70

site) in the Denver, Colorado metro area.

This program addresses the ‘‘Healthy

People 2010’’ priority area of

Environmental Health.

The purpose of this program is: (1) To

determine if soil-pica and soil-ingestion

are potential sources of arsenic and lead

exposure in preschool children in a

community where arsenic and lead

levels were found elevated in soil

samples from residential yards and (2)

to identify cases of acute arsenic or lead

poisoning in households with a high

contaminate level.

B. Eligible Applicants

Assistance will be provided only to

The Colorado Department of Public

Health and Environment (CDPHE). No

other applications are solicited.

CDPHE is the most appropriate and

qualified recipient to conduct the

activities specified under this

cooperative agreement because:

1. CDPHE, as the lead public health

agency in Colorado, has conducted prior

activities of this type (Globeville) in the

Denver area.

2. CDPHE has experience working

with community based research in the

Denver area and has an ongoing

relationship with the VBI70 community

3. The community and the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

have requested that the study be

conducted this summer to capture peak

exposure from outdoor activities. Prior

soil arsenic levels ranged from 12–133

mg/kg. The EPA’s removal action level

is 400 mg/kg. Prior soil lead levels

ranged as high as 1,131. The EPA’s

removal action level for lead is 200 mg/

kg.

C. Availability of Funds

Approximately $250,000 is available

in FY 2001 to fund one award. It is

expected that the award will begin on or

about July 15, 2001, and will be made

for a 12-month budget within a project

period of up to 2 years. Funding

estimates are subject to change.
