Information sheets

 

To further support capacity building and outreach efforts within communities, informational sheets have been developed on

contaminants that are common in Arizona, Mexico, and the U.S.-Mexico Border.  These materials provide basic information regarding general characteristics, health risks, environmental affects, and government policies.  These Information Sheets are created with the community in mind and also incorporate cultural considerations of the stakeholder’s regions. 

Click below to access the different information sheets in both English and Spanish (PDF versions and printed copy order forms are available).
