Why is the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) interested?
The mission of MDH is to protect, maintain and improve the health of all Minnesotans. In the past, we have been involved in many city sites, looking at toxic chemicals that might be found at the sites and recommending ways to prevent or reduce the chances that people would come into contact with those toxic chemicals. However, many other environmental factors can also affect people’s health. We’d like to work with communities to figure out which factors related to the CC LRT might affect the health of people living and working nearby. Then, we’d like to measure those factors now, make some recommendations that would improve people’s health and measure again in the future to see if those factors make a positive impact for a healthier community.
