• Description:
  The Environmental Justice Index (EJI) is the first national, place-based tool designed to measure the cumulative impacts of environmental burden through the lens of human health and health equity. ; The EJI delivers a single score for each community so that public health officials can identify and map areas most at risk for the health impacts of environmental burden. Social factors such as poverty, race, and ethnicity, along with preexisting health conditions may increase these impacts. This tool helps public health officials prioritize action for those communities most at need. ; Learn how place affects health at atsdr.cdc.gov/placeandhealth ; GRASP Evergreen 013 539355cd ; Publication date from document properties. ; EJI-Fact-Sheet-H.pdf
