As the Salton Sea in Southern California dries up, the exposed muddy lakebed turns to toxic dust which is blown into surrounding communities. #Environmental #epidemiologists from the University of Southern California are working with Comite Civico Del Valle, Inc. to investigate how this #airpollution impacts children’s respiratory #health. They hope to empower affected communities to fight for #environmental #justice. https://lnkd.in/daWgi4CX Shohreh Farzan, PhD, Jill Johnston, Christian Torres, Dayane Dueñas Barahona
