Description:

Objective:

The University of California–Berkeley Center for Children’s Environmental Health Research is a community-university partnership investigating the environment and health of primarily low-income, Latino children living in the Salinas Valley, an agricultural community in Monterey County, California. Partners in this project include the local and state health departments and environmental agencies, community clinics and advocates, farm workers, and representatives of the agricultural industry. Under this grant, we will assess exposures and health outcomes in the children through age 7 who are participating in the Center for Health Assessment of Mothers and Children of Salinas (CHAMACOS) study. The CHAMACOS study is a longitudinal birth cohort investigating pesticide and allergen exposures to pregnant women and their children living in an agricultural community. We also will conduct specialized pesticide exposure studies to improve our understanding of pesticide metabolism and excretion during the pregnancy and birth, identify the best samples to characterize exposures for epidemiologic studies, and evaluate the contribution of diet to total pesticide exposure in young children. We also will conduct innovative in-vitro laboratory studies investigating cell responses to mixed exposures of pesticides and allergens. Finally, we will develop a Community Outreach and Translation Core (COTC) to ensure that study findings are widely disseminated to local, regional, and national audiences so that appropriate policy responses to improve children’s health are supported.

Progress Summary:

In the past year, we have completed the 42-month contact with our participants and have begun planning our contacts with families when the children will be 60 months old. We also have conducted a home-based education study to reduce pesticide exposure in farm worker families and a study to elevate the comparability of spot and 24-hour urine samples for estimating pesticide exposure. We are continuing data analysis and have published several papers. Scientific highlights in the last year include:
