Break the Cycle of Children's Environmental Health Disparities
(BTC) is an annual, collaborative, interdisciplinary research and
training program involving university students in academic tracks
that focus on the impact of adverse social, economic, and
environmental factors on children's health, development, and
education. The target populations are communities where
environmental hazards are related to circumstances of social and
economic disadvantage. Each student develops a project that focuses
on preventing or reducing adverse environmental factors to benefit
the children who live in these communities. At the end of the
project, the students present their studies and findings at a
national conference and write papers that are then published. This
book is the result of the 13th BTC projects. The projects cover a
range of factors that have an influence on individual, community,
and social perspectives. Most importantly, they inform us about
children's environmental health disparities, and propose solutions
to reduce and eliminate health disparities in order to promote
health equity for all children. The authors also cover a brief
history of human habitation and the associated environmental
degradation, accompanied by what has been done to address the
process. They recommend a constructive approach to breaking the
cycle of environmental degradation, moving toward the promise of a
positive future for our planet in good ecological balance with
health and well-being for generations to come.
