Developing a Community-Based Low-Cost Air Quality Monitoring Program in America’s Black Belt: Case Study in Uniontown, Alabama
Across the United States, environmental hazards differentially burden low-wealth communities of color due to institutionalized racism and discriminatory practices in zoning, land use, and community development. This is observed in the predominantly African American City of Uniontown, Alabama. Community members in Uniontown have long complained of poor health conditions associated with local operations of the Arrowhead Landfill, the Southeastern C…
Utilization of MD EJSCREEN to Assess Health Outcomes in Baltimore, Maryland
Many industrialized communities in Baltimore, Maryland, lack information about the levels of air pollution, environmental hazards, or related health statistics in their neighborhoods. This gap prompted the development and utilization of the Maryland (MD) Environmental Justice Screening (EJSCREEN) tool, to determine the correlation of the overall MD EJSCORE and existing demographic and environmental MD EJSCREEN indicators, with selected health out…

The Maryland Park Equity Mapper—a web-based tool and index that ranks census block groups based on park presence as well as select sociodemographi…

Development of a Geographic Information Systems Mapping Tool to Measure Park Equity in Maryland
In 2008, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) developed the Maryland Park Equity Assessment Tool to visualize the socioenvironmental distribution of parks across the state and assess where resource investments would most enhance residents' access to green space. This tool, the first of its kind in Maryland (MD), represents an important advancement in environmental justice (EJ) decision making. In 2018, MDNR partnered with the autho…
