by Rebecca Hersher, January 26, 20234:38 PM ET
Most of the pollution is happening near communities of color
"In the #USA, people with less power have consistently been exposed to more pollution, whether it's excess #AirPollution from #highways and #factories, drinking water #contamination, exposure to #lead paint or polluted #lakes and #rivers.
"That trend shows up clearly in the new report, which finds that the majority of the worst-#polluting refineries are located near communities that have lower-than-average #income and a higher-than-average proportion of #NonWhite residents.
"A further NPR analysis of the data finds even more stark inequities: some types of water pollution are concentrated overwhelmingly in communities where people of color live.
"For example, about three-quarters of the nitrogen, selenium and dissolved solid #pollution from #oil refineries came from facilities that are surrounded by neighborhoods that are home to people of color.
"The #EPA declined to comment on the report or on NPR's findings."
