The community also experiences elevated cancer risks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/strong&gt;In response to concerns about industrial air pollution, Beyond Toxics (BT) and Oregon State University (OSU) initiated a community-engaged study to characterize residential PAH exposure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;METHODS: &lt;/strong&gt;Stationary passive samplers were deployed in residential and commercial areas at 17 locations in three rings around the facility: inner (0.25-mile, n = 4), middle (0.5-mile, n = 5), and outer (1 mile, n = 8), for seven days. Twelve residents also wore personal passive wristband samplers (WBs), with eight hosting both a wristband and stationary sampler. All samplers were analyzed for 64 PAHs. Daily activity logs were collected to assess co-variate exposures. Results were shared through individual and community reports and in-person meetings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/strong&gt;Thirty-eight PAHs were detected in stationary samplers. The five most abundant were naphthalene (169 ng/m³), acenaphthene (165 ng/m³), 2-methylnaphthalene (160 ng/m³), 1-methylnaphthalene (87.0 ng/m³), and fluorene (40.4 ng/m³). Seventeen PAHs were detected across the 12 wristbands, with phenanthrene, 2-methylnaphthalene, acenaphthene, fluorene, and naphthalene as the most abundant. PAHs were highest in the inner ring and northeastern area, downwind of the facility, followed by the east, near an industrial railway.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SIGNIFICANCE: &lt;/strong&gt;The exposure patterns observed reflect community reports of odors in the northeast. The most abundant PAHs in both sampler types are associated with creosote. All wristband PAHs were also observed in stationary samplers, suggesting a common exposure source. This community-engaged study identified higher exposures near the industrial source in both ambient and personal samples- supporting long-standing community concerns.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IMPACT STATEMENT: &lt;/strong&gt;Residents in an environmental justice community raised concerns about air pollution from industrial sources. A community-engaged research study used passive samplers to characterize and quantify ambient and personal exposure to vapor phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.&lt;/p&gt;

Effective RBRR must be responsive to target audience needs and may not be addressed by a &#039;one-size-fits-all&#039; approach.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/strong&gt;Within a subset of our 19 studies on RBRR, we had the unique opportunity to carry out a comparative analysis of RBRR strategies across cohorts with similar development and evaluation methods, yet distinct in life stage, geography, number and type of chemicals assessed, and community contexts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;METHODS: &lt;/strong&gt;We highlight key outcomes from three environmental health studies: an ongoing New York, NY cohort (Fair Start; n = 486) and a Detroit, MI cohort (CLEAR; n = 34) assessing exposure to ambient urban pollution during pregnancy, and a longitudinal cohort in Houston, TX (Houston-3H; n = 312) following Hurricane Harvey. Focus group and survey data were analyzed to identify lessons learned and explore how RBRR supports understanding of environmental health.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/strong&gt;Commonalities emerged in RBRR development, design, organization, and data visualization, as well as in how RBRR can contribute to an understanding of health-environment connections. Differences included preferences for individual versus community level findings, as well as distinguishable contextual considerations. For pregnancy cohorts, messaging was framed with cultural sensitivity, and to avoid unintended consequences of parental guilt due to prenatal exposures. In the post-disaster Houston-3H study, participants requested additional transparency regarding sampling design and study rationale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SIGNIFICANCE: &lt;/strong&gt;All RBRR case studies reported chemicals without known regulatory or health guidelines, so results were contextualized within the study population. Participants across cohorts requested multi-study comparisons to better understand their results beyond their communities. While foundational RBRR elements (e.g. plain language, graphic organizers) may supersede cohort-specific differences, RBRR should be personalized to encompass perceptions of health across different life-stage, cultural, and environmental contexts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IMPACT: &lt;/strong&gt;We had the unique opportunity to compare different studies, accounting for different exposure experiences, life stages, chemicals assessed, and RBRR evaluation methods. To our knowledge, this is the first multi-state study reporting back wristband data, used to assess transferable strategies across populations, and how RBRR supports participant understanding of environmental influences on health. Due to the differences between disaster-impacted and peripartum individuals in this subset of case studies, comparisons can inform transferable characteristics of developing RBRR as well as study specific attributes that are responsive to unique contexts.&lt;/p&gt;
