| Abstract: | In this review, we provide an introduction to the topics of environmental
justice and environmental inequality. We provide an overview of the dimensions of
unequal exposures to environmental pollution (environmental inequality), followed
by a discussion of the theoretical literature that seeks to explain the origins of this
phenomenon. We also consider the impact of the environmental justice movement in
the United States and the role that federal and state governments have developed to
address environmental inequalities. We conclude that more research is needed that
links environmental inequalities with public health outcomes. |
