Re: Communicating Env Risks-

I work extensively in this area.  One publication I can direct you to is a 
Brownfields Guide for low-literate residents ( Spanish and English 
speakers/readers).  We used a cooperative composing model with a resident 
panel to derive easy to read and navigate language and pages.  You can 
download the guide at:http://www.uri.edu/ce/wq/has/html/has_brownflds.html

The journal article describing this study is:
.
Zarcadoolas, C., Timm,E., Bibeault,L.(2001). "A Case Study in Developing 
Low Barrier Material about Brownfields." J of Environmental Health. Vol.64, 
No. 1 15-20. July/August.

Thanks,
Chris
