Abstract Details

2024, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Environment and Natural Resources.
Nearly 30 years have passed since Executive Order 12898 put environmental justice (EJ) issues on the policy agenda. Since this time environmental justice has technically remained a policy priority at all levels of government. However despite this apparent commitment to EJ, research has shown over the decades after the passage of the Executive Order, we still see persistent trends in inequality of air pollution exposure by race (Ard, 2015). This begs the question: are environmental justice policies actually working to create environmentally just outcomes? This research seeks to evaluate this question by examining the impact of state environmental justice policies on disproportionate exposure to air pollution, with the goal of understanding what types of state actions, if any, are associated with decreases in pollution inequality.
