Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Community activism for environmental health takes many forms, but at its core, it involves individuals working together to address environmental risks to health. These include physical, chemical, biological, and ecological risks and, increasingly, the complex consequences of climate change. This activism has included not only local efforts (e.g., protesting unhealthy workplaces and polluting facilities) but also action in relation to global environmental health threats such as climate change and persistent organic pollutants. In doing this, individuals pool their knowledge, resources, networks, and social capital, forming a stronger voice to take on established power structures such as industry, lobby groups, or governments. Racialized groups, Indigenous communities, women, and youth have played important roles in addressing longstanding inequities in environmental health in their communities. New digital technologies present opportunities and risks to these and other activist groups, illustrating the ever‐evolving nature of community activism for environmental health.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
