This Environmental Health News (EHN) series examines environmental justice issues. EHN dispatched reporters to seven communities across the U.S. to report on their struggles to cope with an array of environmental threats.
It offers funders an introduction to types of environmental justice issues communities and populations across the U.S. are facing, from Richmond, California, a city encircled by oil refineries, to Alabamans of color facing an epidemic of obesity.
