NCFH developed The Health Effects of Air Pollution on the U.S.-Mexico Border, a comprehensive report designed to equip community health centers and other stakeholders with information and resources to support health promotion activities addressing respiratory issues linked to air pollution.
The report summarizes findings from the Border Environmental Health Project Study, which drew insights from nine focus groups conducted in three communities along the border. Supported by funding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), this initiative highlights the intersection of environmental and public health in vulnerable border populations.
