本文利用1995年2,083个县的数据，检验了环境种族主义/阶级主义假设，并得出结论，两者都有优点，但具体的发现表明，这种关系比迄今报道的更为复杂。阶级和种族关系是有条件的：虽然高社会阶层降低了有毒物质排放的水平，但它是通过缓和财政能力、污染潜力和这种环境危害之间的关系来实现的。此外，虽然有毒物质的释放量随着黑人人口的增加而增加，但这种关系在阳光地带更为强烈。(C)2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
This article, using data on 2,083 counties in 1995, tests the environmental racism/classism hypotheses and concludes that both have merit, however, specific findings demonstrate that the relationships are more complex than heretofore reported. Class and race relationships are conditional: while high social class reduces the level of toxic releases, it does so by moderating the relationship between fiscal capacity, pollution potential and this environmental harm. Further, while toxic releases increase as a function of the Black population, this relationship is stronger in the Sunbelt. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
