Seeking justice, eating toxics: overlooked contaminants in urban community gardens

Melanie Malone

Summary: Urban community gardens have emerged in economically compromised neighborhoods across the U.S. to address environmental injustices, but their locations in historically contaminated areas pose potential risks of harmful contaminants, with a lack of health standards or regulations in place.

Key considerations for assessing soil ingestion exposures among agricultural workers

Sara N. Lupolt et al.

Summary: This qualitative investigation with fruit and vegetable growers identified key factors related to soil ingestion in agricultural context, filling an important gap in occupational exposure science methodology. Based on emergent themes and concerns of growers, the study provides recommendations for improving traditional exposure science tools for estimating soil ingestion rates.

Beyond backyard chickens: A framework for understanding municipal urban agriculture policies in the United States

Madeline R. Halvey et al.

Summary: The study finds that cities in the US have taken various approaches in urban agriculture policies, covering different topics ranging from accessory structures and compost to public land access and soil safety. The increasing engagement of public-private partnerships indicates the growing role of civil society groups as collaborators in municipal government processes.

A citizen science approach to identifying trace metal contamination risks in urban gardens

Mark Patrick Taylor et al.

Summary: VegeSafe program, launched in 2013, helps Australians concerned about soil contaminants by analyzing garden soils for trace metals at little to no cost. The response was overwhelming, with 17,256 soils submitted from 3,609 homes, revealing sobering results about lead contamination in urban soils.Participants showed better understanding of contaminants and a sense of safety in their home environment, with many taking remedial action based on their results.

Strong evidence for the continued contribution of lead deposited during the 20th century to the atmospheric environment in London of today

Eleonore Resongles et al.

Summary: Although leaded gasoline has been banned, lead is still significantly present in airborne particles in large cities such as London. The isotopic composition of lead in airborne particles suggests that lead from gasoline combustion remains a major contributor to lead pollution in London. Data collected over the past decade shows consistent levels of lead, indicating a persistent source of lead pollution in urban environments.
