UNEQUAL RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES: URBAN STREAMS, E. COLI LEVELS, AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES
With much of the world urbanizing and increasing evidence that green space can have a variety of benefits, it is important to understand the health of urban green space, including urban streams. Additionally, environmental justice issues are a known problem, where disadvantaged and minority populations are more likely to experience environmental hazards. While previous studies focused on drinking water, access to green space, and more, this study evaluates recreational streams by race and class. Water quality data from local and federal agencies and data from the U.S. Census Bureau was used to investigate whether E. coli levels were higher in areas with lower socioeconomic status and minority communities in four cities. Mixed effect multilevel linear regression models suggest that those who rent are most potentially exposed, and that those who identify as Hispanic also likely experience more potential exposure.
