摘要

在城市环境中，污染的不均匀分布导致低收入和高贫困社区接触有害污染物的比例过高。颗粒物，尤其是 PM2.5 级颗粒物，是燃烧过程产生的，是人类造成全球变暖和气候变化的主要驱动力。由此对纽约布朗克斯区等社会经济条件较差的社区造成的影响是哮喘、其他呼吸道疾病和心血管疾病的高发病率。这种不平衡是环境正义问题。清新空气项目 "通过科学、技术、工程和数学外联活动对社区进行教育，利用传感器监测颗粒物、学生项目、课程开发和更广泛的社区参与，以开展环境正义教育。

Education for Environmental Justice: The Fordham Regional Environmental Sensor for Healthy Air

In urban environments, the nonuniform distribution of pollution contributes to disproportionate exposure to harmful pollutants in low-income and high-poverty neighborhoods. Particulate matter, especially of the class PM2.5, results from combustion processes which are a main driver for human-caused global warming and climate change. A resulting impact on socio-economically disadvantaged communities like the Bronx, NY is the high incidence of asthma, other respiratory diseases, and cardiovascular disease. This disparity is an environmental justice concern. Project FRESH Air is educating the community through STEM outreach with sensors for monitoring particulate matter, student projects, curriculum development, and wider community engagement in order to educate for environmental justice.
