Healthy Air
One of the costs of industrialization, clean and healthy air is not guaranteed and minority, impoverished, and disenfranchised communities are at an elevated risk of exposure to unhealthy, toxic, and even deadly air. The equation for healthy air, however, is much more complex than a formula of emissions from factories and automobiles, it involves dynamic interplay between infrastructure, waste management, and public health among other disciplines.-
