Tennessee State University
This project is focused on Pleasantville, Texas, where the lack of zoning laws has affected air quality — mostly of low-income minority families. Through the use of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) EJSCREEN database, variables were selected to show health risks and air toxins in the area at state and national levels.
