在过去的十年中，活动家，学者和政策制定者投入了大量的关注“环境公平”，或潜在的环境风险的来源可能集中在种族和少数民族和穷人的概念。尽管作出了这些努力，环境不平等的存在和程度仍然是学术界激烈辩论的主题。本文报告了49项环境公平研究的荟萃分析结果。分析表明，虽然有无处不在的证据表明，基于种族的环境不平等，现有的研究并不支持这样的论点，即类似的不平等存在于经济阶层。(c)2005年，公共政策分析与管理协会。
Over the past decade activists, academics, and policymakers have devoted a great deal of attention to "environmental equity," or the notion that sources of potential environmental risk may be concentrated among racial and ethnic minorities and the poor. Despite these efforts, the existence and extent of environmental inequities is still the subject of intense scholarly debate. This manuscript reports the results from a meta-analysis of 49 environmental equity studies. The analysis demonstrates that while there is ubiquitous evidence of environmental inequities based upon race, existing research does not support the contention that similar inequities exist with respect to economic class.
