Environmental Health Inequities
Environmental health inequities refer to disparities in the quality of the environment and its impact on human health among different populations. These inequities can be influenced by factors such as race, socioeconomic status, geographic location, and access to resources. People who are marginalized or disadvantaged often experience a greater burden of environmental health risks, leading to higher rates of illness and disease. Addressing these inequities requires identifying and addressing the root causes of environmental injustices to ensure that all communities have equal access to a safe and healthy environment.
