Today Environmental Health News (EHN) begins a three-week series, Pollution, Poverty and People of Color. They will be examining the long-discussed, rarely-addressed issues of environmental justice in urban and rural communities across America.
Today's story focuses on the refineries and close-in neighborhoods of Richmond, California. The Bay Area city of 103,000 is ringed by five oil refineries, three chemical factories, eight Superfund sites and more.
Help us spread the word. Contact me or editor Marla Cone if you have questions or comments on the series.
