On Season Two’s second episode of Urban Impact, we explore environmental justice with Nicky Sheats, Ph.D., J.D., director of the Center for the Urban Environment at the John S. Watson Institute for Urban Policy and Research at Kean. Sheats explains the disproportionate impact of pollution on low-income neighborhoods and communities of color; how the Canadian wildfires brought a visual element to understanding pollution; and why measuring one pollutant at a time is part of the problem.
