Pauline Logan moved to Joppa from the countryside in 1957. As an 8-year-old, she already was shocked at the difference. The noise, the air and the nauseating...
The three-year community-led project with Texas A&M scientists will use data from air monitors and journals from residents tracking their symptoms.
Now, she said that she has health issues, but isn’t sure if it’s the environment or age-related. She said that Joppa is her home and she wants to know how the air affects her health.Two scientists from Texas A&M are leading a study in partnership with community members who compose the steering committee and environmental advocacy group Downwinders at Risk.
The three-year-long project received a grant for about $350,000 by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in 2020. The first year’s goal was to create the steering committee and reach out to the community. “Every voice matters,” Ma said. “We totally respected the community and also we found the community gives us a lot of good feedback. Things that we, as researchers, never thought about.”
She said that everyone smells the smells and experiences health concerns. However, they don’t know the specifics nor if the two are even connected. Oquinn is an Oak Cliff native, but has been involved in environmental advocacy in the neighborhood since 2018. Oquinn said that she herself has felt the effects of the environment in Joppa. She said that while she was out in Joppa for about an hour, she could feel the difference in air quality.
