Description:

This map shows Pollution Burden score percentiles for each census tract that are derived from the average percentiles of the seven Exposures indicators (ozone and PM2.5 concentrations, diesel PM emissions, drinking water contaminants, pesticide use, toxic releases from facilities, and traffic density) and the five Environmental Effects indicators (cleanup sites, impaired water bodies, groundwater threats, hazardous waste facilities and generators, and solid waste sites and facilities).

Indicators from the Environmental Effects component were given half the weight of the indicators from the Exposures component. The calculated average pollution buden score (average of the indicators) was divided by 10 and rounded to one decimal place for a Pollution Burden score ranging from 0.1 -10.


The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), on behalf of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), announces the availability of the Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool: CalEnviroScreen Version 3.0 (CalEnviroScreen 3.0). CalEnviroScreen is a screening methodology that can be used to help identify California communities that are disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution. The 3.0 report and supporting documents are available at: http://oehha.ca.gov/calenviroscreen/report/calenviroscreen-30.
