Race, class and environmental justice
Abstract
The growth of the environmental justice movement in the US surprised even the most seasoned of policy-makers by its speed and the magnitude of its impact on US national policy (Russell, 1989; Inhaber, 1990; Grossman, 1991; Goldman, 1992). Responding to intense public pressure from environmental and civil rights activists for close to a decade, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established an Environmental Equity Workgroup in 1990. The workgroup had two primary tasks:1 to evaluate the evidence that racial minority and low-income groups bore a disproportionate burden of environmental risks; and2 to identify factors that contributed to different risk burdens and to suggest strategies for improvement.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
