Environmental Justice, Toxicology and Politics
Journal Title: Advances in Clinical Toxicology - Year 2022, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The Earth and all its inhabitants, including humans, regardless of color, race, income level, or nationality, should be treated with respect as to the implementation and / or enforcement of environmental policies, laws or imposed regulations. Climate change and contaminants can strip an urban community from their basic living needs, and a subsistence community from depletion of natural survival resources. This short commentary addresses that all people should have access to the decision making processes of environmental and health hazards, assessment of legacy toxins and risk management decisions in order that every community worldwide can maintain sustainability through ecological balance.
