Originator:
Social and Environmental Context Variables for ABCD Linked External Data Release 5.0
Title:
Selected Environmental Justice Screening and Mapping Tools (EJSCREEN) Measures
Abstract:
Three measures from the EJSCREEN and National Air Toxics Assessment (NATA) are available. These data were released in 2018, based on 2014 emissions data. Three measures include: 1) Diesel particulate matter level in the air, in g/m3; 2) lifetime cancer risk from inhalation of air toxics; and 3) ratio of exposure concentration to health-based reference concentration. Additional technical information about the EJSCREEN (including information about downloading the data) can be found here https://www.epa.gov/ejscreen/technical-information-and-data-downloads.
