Building Capacity for Advanced Community Air Monitoring in California’s Overburdened Communities
Community air monitoring has expanded rapidly over the past decade in response to persistent environmental injustices and the limitations of regulatory monitoring networks, which often fail to capture localized pollution burdens in overburdened communities. While low-cost particle sensors have improved spatial coverage, communities still lack access to tools capable of measuring the chemical composition of particulate matter and identifying sourc…
Investigating the Impact of Soil NO x on Air Quality in Rural Agricultural Communities
Disadvantaged communities in rural agricultural areas throughout the San Joaquin Valley (SJVAB) and Salton Sea Air Basins (SSAB) disproportionately bear the impacts of poor air quality, despite years of regulatory efforts to reduce pollution from combustion sources. Evidence shows that there is an overlooked, unregulated pollution source affecting these areas. The influence of soil NO x emissions on air pollution in agricultural regions has come …
Challenges to the development of taxation policies for sugar-sweetened beverages in Colombia
Frequent consumption of sugar sweetened beverages (SSB) is related to the risks of developing overweight, obesity, cavities, diabetes and other diseases. Policies to significantly increase taxes on SSB have proven to be effective in reducing their consumption. The political debate on implementing these taxes in Colombia shows a series of barriers to placing this policy on the political agenda, and therefore, to its approval. This work analyses th…
Diversity and Inclusion Through Collaboration
Discrimination toward trainees is a pervasive problem, with surveys showing it is often perpetrated by patients. For several years, residents and faculty in an internal medicine residency have participated in a workshop offering a framework for responding to discriminatory behavior by patients. As part of a larger effort to reinforce this teaching and promote an inclusive environment, the authors pursued a multipronged simulation curriculum that …
Capture and corporate cooptation
Introduction Corporate capture responds to efforts to strengthen regulation or prohibition of commercial determinants of health [tobacco, alcohol, sugar-sweetened beverages, ultra-processed products (UPFs), commercial milk formula, and pharmaceuticals], in an attempt to interfere with public health policies that threaten the commercial, economic, and political interests of major industries. This manuscript proposes the characterization of the cor…
Hydrosocial imaginaries of green extractivism
Community engagement and adequate consultation are key components in a just water-energy transition. • Equitable distribution of taxes is a step toward the idea of “extractive recovery.” • Community benefits agreements should be considered a “floor” expectation. • Examination of geothermal lithium development offers a critical lens on the water-energy nexus. • Collaborative research and action for environmental justice may interrogate green extra…
