Environmental justice: issues, policies, and solutions
Abstract
Millions of people throughout the country - particularly people of color and members of low-income groups - live in the most undesirable sections of cities and towns where they are continuously exposed to elevated levels of persistent and dangerous pollutants. As places to put our waste dwindle, and these already polluted communities are pressured to take on further disproportionate amounts of waste, conflict between at-risk and more affluent populations will undoubtedly increase. In Environmental Justice, leading thinkers of the environmental justice movement take a direct look at the failure of top-down public policy to effectively deal with issues of environmental equity. This book provides a startling look at pressing social and environmental problems, and it charts a course for future action.

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.
