Community Health Projects (CHP) Related to Contamination at  
Brownfield/Land
Reuse Sites

Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry

The ATSDR Community Health Projects (CHP) Related to Contamination at  
Brownfield/Land
Reuse Sites purpose is to increase responsive public health actions  
by promoting healthy and
safe environments and preventing harmful exposures related to  
contamination at
Brownfield/Land Reuse Sites.  Brownfields are defined by the U.S.  
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) as property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of  
which may be complicated
by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance,  
pollutant, or contaminant.
Land reuse sites are properties that are being redeveloped from their  
former use.  EPA
estimates that there are over 450,000 Brownfield sites in the United  
States.  Addressing public
health concerns and issues associated with restoration of  
contaminated properties is essential.

ATSDR’s mission is to serve the public through responsive public  
health actions to promote
healthy and safe environments and prevent harmful exposures.  Sites  
such as Brownfield/Land
Reuse sites may have potentially harmful exposures from contamination  
from previous site
uses. Community health projects that address impacts of contamination  
at Brownfield/Land
Reuse sites further ATSDR’s public health mission to promote healthy  
and safe environments
and prevent harmful exposures.  These projects will have a particular  
emphasis on identifying
health issues prior to redevelopment and/or assessing changes in  
community health associated
with reuse plans and redevelopment.
