    • Abstract:
      The article offers information on the Environmental Justice Index (EJI), developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. Potential indicators for the EJI include social vulnerability, environmental burden and health vulnerability. It discusses model calculations for the EJI, its use for identifying and prioritizing communities experiencing impacts of environmental burdens on health and health equity, and limitations of the EJI.
