为了探索迈阿密（佛罗里达州）环境健康不公平模式的种族内多样性，我们将2005年全国空气毒性评估中道路污染物的癌症风险模型估计与2005-2009年美国社区调查的区域级社会人口统计数据联系起来。低收入和拉美裔人口比例较高的社区面临风险。当根据原籍国对“西班牙裔”进行分类时，我们发现古巴和哥伦比亚社区因车辆空气污染而面临的癌症风险显著增加，而墨西哥社区面临的风险显著降低。这些基于西班牙裔原籍国分组的环境不公正的不同模式，是由迈阿密西班牙裔亚群体的不同迁移和定居模式形成的。我们的研究结果强调，在未来的EJ分析和政策中，越来越需要考虑种族/民族异质性。
To explore intra-ethnic diversity in patterns of environmental health injustice in Miami (Florida), we related modeled estimates of cancer risks from on-road pollutants from the 2005 National-scale Air Toxics Assessment with 2005-2009 American Community Survey tract-level sociodemographic data. Neighborhoods with lower incomes and higher proportions of Hispanics were at risk. When disaggregating "Hispanic" based on country of origin, we found that Cuban and Colombian neighborhoods faced significantly increased cancer risk from vehicular air pollution while Mexican neighborhoods faced significantly decreased risk. These divergent patterns of environmental injustice based on Hispanic country-of-origin groupings have been shaped by the differing migration and settlement patterns of Hispanic subgroups in Miami. Our findings highlight the growing need to consider racial/ethnic heterogeneity in future EJ analysis and policy.
