Pollution and racism go hand in hand: low-income, predominantly non-white communities with less capital and political power become dumping zones for hazardous waste and other toxic environmental exposures. As part of an ongoing series on structural racism and public health, Keshia Pollack Porter dives into the topic of environmental injustice with Hopkins environmental epidemiologist Dr. Aisha Dickerson and EPA Environmental Health Fellow Dr. Dana Williamson.
