The CCCEH collaborates with community organizations Exit EPA Disclaimeradvocating for increased environmental justice in poorer neighborhoods located in northern Manhattan and the South Bronx. The coalition of 8 direct service and environmental health advocacy organizations ensures that results from the scientific research are delivered to these communities in ways that are meaningful and usable in improving daily environmental health at home and in the larger neighborhood. The community health education campaign, Healthy Home Healthy Child (HHHC) Exit EPA Disclaimer, was developed to share health information and prevention methods for air pollution, cigarette smoke, drugs & alcohol, garbage management, lead poisoning, nutrition and pesticides.
