正式评估具体的政策措施如何影响环境正义是一项挑战，特别是在定量比较是规范的监管分析的背景下。然而，有大量的文献在其他环境中制定和应用健康不平等的量化措施，这些措施可能适用于环境监管分析。在本文中，我们提供的信息，以帮助决策者在确定环境监管分析的背景下，使用健康不平等的措施的可行性。我们的结论是，量化的分布不平等的健康结果在社会群体的关注，考虑组内和组间的比较，将是一致的监管分析和环境正义的核心定义的结构。要适当应用不平等指标，就需要利用监管分析中通常可获得的数据，全面描述风险敞口和风险的基线分布情况。多个不平等指标可适用于监管分析，指标的选择应基于对最重要的环境正义层面的明确价值判断。
Formally evaluating how specific policy measures influence environmental justice is challenging, especially in the context of regulatory analyses in which quantitative comparisons are the norm. However, there is a large literature on developing and applying quantitative measures of health inequality in other settings, and these measures may be applicable to environmental regulatory analyses. In this paper, we provide information to assist policy decision makers in determining the viability of using measures of health inequality in the context of environmental regulatory analyses. We conclude that quantification of the distribution of inequalities in health outcomes across social groups of concern, considering both within-group and between-group comparisons, would be consistent with both the structure of regulatory analysis and the core definition of environmental justice. Appropriate application of inequality indicators requires thorough characterization of the baseline distribution of exposures and risks, leveraging data generally available within regulatory analyses. Multiple inequality indicators may be applicable to regulatory analyses, and the choice among indicators should be based on explicit value judgments regarding the dimensions of environmental justice of greatest interest.
