UK-SRP in Communities

The Community Outreach Core (COC), under the direction of Dr. Lisa Gaetke, works closely to inform and assist communities dealing with the negative health impacts of Superfund chemicals. The COC's Superfund Community Action through Nutrition (SCAN) endeavor has put together a number of programs, ranging from basic educational materials to train-the-trainer sessions.

A COC Superfund Booklet provides an entry point for individuals to begin learning about the complex relationships between chemicals and health.

Publications and hand-out materials (PDF Files) include:

Hazardous Chemicals and Your Body: Eating Right for a Healthier You (CES Booklet)
Hazardous Chemicals and Your Body: Eating Right for a Healthier You (CES Technical Document)
Fruit and Vegetable Tips
What's on Your Plate
Spice Up Your Immune System
