Abstract

The article focuses on the issue of toxic pollution along the stretch of the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans known as Cancer Alley, in the San Francisco Bay Area city of Richmond, and in southwestern Detroit. Virtually every household has suffered from asthma, leukemia, sarcoidosis, or cancer. A study by University of Michigan found that Detroit zip code 48217 is most polluted. In 2010, the Sierra Club helped guide a partnership between the Sierra Club's Environmental Justice Program and Global Community Monitor that taught Detroit residents how to collect their own air samples.
