摘要

摘要:本研究旨在探讨2016-2018年，社会和经济因素是否影响了县级安全饮用水法案(SDWA)违规行为的地理分布。我们的研究控制了各种因素，以评估社区种族、贫困和种族特征是否与SDWA违规的地理分布有关。结果表明，暴露于不安全饮用水的人群集中在某些地区。在西南和南部地区似乎有一个“受污染的饮用水带”，集中在加利福尼亚的中央山谷，德克萨斯州的殖民地和南部农村。与空间聚类结果一致，零膨胀计数回归模型显示西班牙裔百分比是SDWA违规的显著预测因子。此外，结果表明，违反SDWA的县与持续贫困并存，表明集中贫困很重要，并对当地饮用水质量产生负面影响。

Ethnicity, Poverty, Race, and the Unequal Distribution of US Safe Drinking Water Act Violations, 2016-2018

ABSTRACT The current study examines whether social and economic factors affect the geographic distribution of safe drinking water act (SDWA) violations at the county-level, 2016–2018. Our research controls for a variety of factors in an effort to assess whether community ethnicity, poverty, and racial characteristics appear to be related to the geographic distribution of SDWA violations. The results indicated that populations that are exposed to unsafe drinking water are clustered in certain areas. There appears to be a “contaminated drinking water belt” in the Southwest and South regions, which are concentrated in California’s Central Valley, the Texas colonias, and the rural South. Consistent with the spatial cluster results, the zero-inflated count regression model showed that the percentage of Hispanics was a significant predictor of SDWA violations. In addition, the results indicated that counties with SDWA violations and persistent poverty co-occur, suggesting that concentrated poverty matters, and has a negative impact on local drinking water quality.
