The Program for Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE) at the University of Southern California has released a report titled, Justice in the Air: Tracking Toxic Pollution from America’s Industries and Companies to Our States, Cities, and Neighborhoods. This study tracked which states and metropolitan areas have the biggest gap between the health risk from toxic pollution faced by people of color and the poor compared to their proportion of the population. The report also lists the industrial companies whose pollution has the most disproportionate impacts on minority or low-income neighborhoods.
