ENV 317 Science of the Two Americas

The Two Americas in terms of environmental health are not just the coasts and the inner states, or just white people and people of color, or just liberal and conservative. Those with dramatically different environmental health impacts are rich and poor people. This course will look at lead in drinking water, mountaintop mining, fracking for natural gas, subsistence fish consumption, air pollution and children, septic systems and diseases.
