This award funds a project led by Jordan University of Science & Technology to study environmental exposures and health impacts in the Arab region, generating data to inform public health policies and support similar U.S. regions facing climate-related hazards.
Description
The project aims to generate high-resolution environmental and public health data on air pollution, heat, dust storms, water scarcity, nitrate contamination, drought, and extreme weather in Jordan, Lebanon, and Morocco. It seeks to link environmental exposures to health outcomes, identify at-risk groups, and support policy development to mitigate health risks associated with climate-related hazards.
