As part of the weeklong observance, communities across the country will consider how buildings, roads, sidewalks and neighborhood design are affecting the health of children. For example, children who live close enough to school to walk often do not because they have no sidewalks to walk on. Air pollution has contributed to higher rates of childhood asthma, and the lack of access to fresh foods and avenues for activity in some neighborhoods has contributed to rising rates of childhood obesity.

Myles O'Malley, MA

Myles O’Malley describes himself as an advocate and organization builder. In the late 1970’s he founded and directed the White Lung Association of New York and in 1982 the White Lung Association of New Jersey. Both of these asbestos victim organizations evolved in response to unmet social and environmental demands.

The White Lung Association of New York (WLA of NY) was organized by the widows of former Brooklyn Naval Ship Yard workers, most of whom worked in the yard for short periods of time during WW II and contracted the always fatal mesothelioma. Under the direction of O’Malley, and with the aid of Churches and Unions all across the State, the WLA of NY set up a medical screening program with Dr. Steve Markowitz and Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx.

Mr. O'Malley's organization "White Lung" aided in the development of NYC Local Law 76; to this date, the most progressive and protective municipal regulation protecting the public from asbestos exposure.

In September 1983, O'Malley's influence helped lead to Governor Kean's decision to enact laws to control the asbestos industry and bring a higher degree of protection from asbestos to our schools. These were the most progressive asbestos laws on the books in any state at that time. Governor Jim Florio, a member of the US House at that time, acted quickly on the asbestos front by getting together with Senator Stafford of Vermont to pass the Asbestos Hazards Emergency Response Act of 1987. It unanimously passed in both houses.

O’Malley has moved on to other social issues. In 1997 he founded Childhood Lead Poisoning Emergency Response, Inc. (CLPER). CLPER is a not-for-profit lead abatement and evaluation firm licensed by the state of NJ. “CLPER thinks it has a big piece of the solution to childhood lead poisoning,” says O’Malley. “Check us out at http://www.clper.org.”

He provides Occupational Safety and Health training at the School of Public Health and is particularly proud of his work in the Brownfields Minority Worker Training Program (BMWTP), a program funded by NIEHS to train disadvantaged workers for various environmental occupations. He holds the Residential/Commercial Buildings Supervisor permit as well as the Inspector/Risk Assessor permits. He has provided lead abatement and evaluation training since 1991; providing hundreds of trainees entrance into the residential lead-based paint control industry.

“I was built for occupational safety training,” he says. “The goal of training is to change behavior in a short period of time. That’s just another name for advocacy.”
