Safe and Just Cleaners: Reducing Exposure to Toxic Cleaning Chemical Products Among Low Wage Immigrant Latino Community Members
This project will assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health and well-being, employment status, and cleaning and disinfecting practices among Latinx domestic cleaners in the NYC metropolitan. It will then develop educational materials for a COVID-19 Domestic Cleaner Safe Return to Work Toolkit for domestic cleaners and clients based on survey findings.
Reduction of Hazardous Exposures in Small Businesses through a Community Health Worker Intervention
Our parent project aims to reduce negative health outcomes in small businesses that primarily employ high-risk Latinx workers by characterizing their exposures to hazardous chemicals and assessing if a community health worker (CHW) intervention can decrease these exposures.

In this proposal, we explore the relationship between indoor allergen and pollutant exposures, including second-hand smoke and SARS-CoV2 infection and disease, to assess the impact of pandemic conditions on indoor exposures relevant to asthma among this population.
