Analysis of Draft Calenviroscreen 2.0 Scores and Race/ethnicity
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The CalEnviroScreen 2.0 scores represent a combined measure of pollution and the potential vulnerability of a population to the effects of pollution. Unlike CalEnviroScreen 1.0, Version 2.0 scores do not include a measure of race/ethnicity in the calculation of the CalEnviroScreen score. The removal of race/ethnicity from the score does not minimize the importance of examining this issue in the context of environmental impacts and vulnerability. This section presents some of the scientific evidence related to the vulnerability to pollution of some racial/ethnic groups, and provides an analysis of the relationship between CalEnviroScreen scores and race/ethnicity.
