I wanted to talk on/add to the article more information on the upcoming evidence of deep racial disparities in exposure to environmental hazards. The idea of environmental justice, in which people are created equally in the condition of human environment, was formed during the 1980s when a landmark study examined wide disparities in the placing of disposal/hazard waste facilities. Environmental racism exists as the inverse of environmental justice which directly affects communities of color.

This article discusses environmental racism and justice. I believe this article discuss many important factors, such as geographic location in relation to factories' and areas wherein high emittance fumes are poorer. It also bring up good idea for justice to these issues and goes farther into human rights and opportunities that are compromised when living in environmentally racial zones.

Here is another link: https://www.encyclopedia.com/environment/educational-magazines/environmental-racism

I found this insightful because it spoke about the point in time, 1960s, when we became aware of the different types of racism (not just socially) but environmentally and in other aspects.
