Scales of environmental justice: combining GIS and spatial analysis for air toxics in West Oakland, California by Fisher, J, Kelly, M, Romm, J

“…Using a spatial analysis method called Ripley’s K we assess environmental justice across multiple spatial scales, and we verify and quantify the West Oakland neighborhood as an environmental justice site as designated by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Further, we integrate the ISCST3 air dispersion model with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to identify the number of people potentially affected by a particular facility, and engage the problem of non-point sources of diesel emissions with an analysis of the street network.…”

Maternal exposure to ambient ozone and congenital diaphragmatic hernia: a population-based retrospective cohort study from Florida, 1998–2012 by Ramakrishnan, R, Stuart, AL, Salemi, JL, Chen, H, O'Rourke, K, Kirby, RS

“…<p><strong>Methods</strong></p> We conducted a population-based, retrospective cohort study using data from the 1998–2012 Florida Birth Defects Registry and the Environmental Protection Agency's Air Quality System. Maternal exposure was estimated by combining data to determine ozone concentrations during pregnancy for maternal census tract (at delivery) using a space-time inverse distance squared weighting method. …”
