More rural Alaska solid waste health resources

Lynn Zender posted a series of valuable resources on solid waste management and dumpsite health risk studies in rural Alaska as a comment here on the other site Biocultural Sciences. Because comments from there don’t get noted here, I’m making a post to bring these resources to your attention.

• Adverse birth outcomes associated with open dumpsites in Alaska Native Villages

Lynn mentions SWAN

• “Solid Waste Alaska Network, Solid Waste Management (SWM) for Alaska Native Villages.” http://www.ccthita-swan.org/main/index.cfm

I thought I had referred folks to SWAN which is a highly useful discussion site and resource. My apologies because it is very well done. The site is sponsored by CCTHITA (Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska)
