Welcome to Daniel's testproject
The main point of the article is that a big name organization (The EPA) is taking steps to help the residents of Newark and the Ironbound Community monitor air pollution. Not only is the EPA donating $150,000 worth of equipment, but they are also training volunteers to monitor and mantain the machines so the EPA and the Ironbound Community can gather the information they need. The machines can also be moved around so multiple locations can be sampled and tested.
The article finds that because Newark's population is 75% black and Hispanic, the hiring problem has a disproportionate impact on minorities. Blacks and Hispanics are most at risk of this issue.
The author is Cynthia E. Lamy, she is a developmental and National Institute for Early Education Research educational psychologist and research fellow at Rutgers University.
Some vulnerabilities blacks in Newark face are health issues like blood lead poisoning because they cannot afford to solve the issue.
This study was conducted by using testing data from 4th-grade students from North Carolina, and comparing if they matched high blood lead levels. This method was conducted in seven counties through normal statistical methods.
