CAFEH is the Community Assessment of Freeway Exposure and Health (CAFEH) study. It is funded by a $2.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to Tufts University. CAFEH will study pollution in Boston communities near major highways. The Somerville Transportation Equity Partnership, Chinese Progressive Association, Committee for Boston Public Housing and the Chinatown Resident Association are partners in research. These community organizations will advise the project. The study will last for five years, with air monitoring beginning in 2008.
