It examined the TRI air and water releases from 1988-2006 and population mortality rates from 1999-2006 for cancer, respiratory, cardiovascular and total causes; presents findings important for working class communities, minorities, and disadvantaged groups; and provides suggestions for improving health and preventing exposure to toxic emissions.
