The core issue is whether people of color, <br />the poor, and other disadvantaged groups are unfairly exposed to risks from technological <br />hazards due to industries, toxic waste sites, landfills, and incinerators. This session will <br />consider the enviroomental justice framework and discuss its relevance for natural hazards. <br /> <br />4.
