Colorado

Mapping for Environmental Justice published its map for the state of Colorado in 2020.

MEJ’s map shows that communities of color breathe nearly twice as much diesel pollution and are 1.5 times more likely to live near a Superfund site than white communities. The disparity holds across an array of environmental hazards: from wastewater releases to air toxics, Coloradans of color are consistently exposed to more pollution.
