Researchers at the Center for Global Healthy Cities are developing cutting edge tools and analytical methods to rapidly advance the scientific evidence on the pervasive environmental injustices experienced by vulnerable communities. These innovations range from screening methods used by the USEPA to identify communities vulnerable to cumulative impacts from multiple stressors to the application of cell phone technology to simultaneously measure people’s exposures and health status.
