Some examples of coverage for some of my research:
Social Disparities in Health: Disproportionate toxicity proximity in minority communities over a decade. In this study, we look at the exposure of various demographic groups to toxic waste in the Southern California region over the 1990-2000 period. We find that Latinos and Asians are disproportionately exposed to such waste. We also find that neighborhoods with a high percentage of highly educated persons (with at least a bachelor’s degree) are near particularly few such sites. Look here for maps of sites, and other related information. Here is a UC Irvine news release of the study. Here is the abstract and a link to the study published in the peer-reviewed journal Health & Place.
