Environmental justice in industrially contaminated industrial sites: documenting inequalities and defining interventions.
Edited by Roberto Pasetto, Alessandra Fabri
2020, 98 p. Rapporti ISTISAN 20/21 (in Italian)
The topic of Environmental Justice is of great concern in industrially contaminated sites, since usually the communities living in or close to contaminated areas have socioeconomic fragilities, in addition to being affected by the exposure to pollutants. The contributions included in this report document a multidisciplinary reflection on the theme of promotion of Environmental Justice for communities resident in Italian contaminated sites. This reflection regards the epidemiological monitoring of such communities both at the national level, referring to the national epidemiological monitoring system SENTIERI, and at the local level, taking a cue from the experience developed in the Taranto polluted site. In details, the multidisciplinary reflection is focused in assessing how to improve the capabilities of SENTIERI and of local monitoring systems of: assessing and monitoring inequalities; understanding mechanisms of generation and maintenance of marginalities; identifying interventions for Environmental Justice promotion.
