Use of Segregation Indices, Townsend Index, and Air Toxics Data to Assess Lifetime Cancer Risk Disparities in Metropolitan Charleston, South Carolina, USA
We found that material deprivation, measured by the Townsend Index and segregation measured by the Isolation index, introduced high impact on lifetime cancer risk by air toxics at the census tract level
Leaking Underground Storage Tanks and Environmental Injustice
There are approximately 590,000 underground storage tanks (USTs) nationwide that store petroleum or hazardous substances. Many of these tanks are leaking, which may increase the risk of exposure to contaminants that promote health problems in host neighborhoods. Within this study, we assessed disparities in the spatial distribution of leaking underground storage tanks (LUSTs) based on socioeconomic status (SES) and race/ethnicity in South Carolin…
Assessment and Impact of a Summer Environmental Justice and Health Enrichment Program
The need for more enrichment programs for underrepresented groups in the health sciences particularly the environmental health sciences is considerable. The implications of chronic racial/ethnic differences in scientific training are best illustrated by the disproportionate number of health professionals from underrepresented groups. For example, African Americans comprise 13% of the total U.S. population but only account for 4% of U.S. physician…
Assessment of the Distribution of Toxic Release Inventory Facilities in Metropolitan Charleston
Objectives. We assessed spatial disparities in the distribution of Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) facilities in Charleston, SC. Methods. We used spatial methods and regression to assess burden disparities in the study area at the block and census-tract levels by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES). Results. Results revealed an inverse relationship between distance to TRI facilities and race/ethnicity and SES at the block and census-tract…

The Lowcountry Alliance for Model Communities (LAMC), a community-based environmental justice organization comprised of seven economically depressed African-American neighborhoods in North Charleston, SC, convened in response to the planned siting of a new port terminal near their community. Their efforts led to …
