Question: Polluting factories and toxic waste sites are disproportionately housed in poor communities. These communities usually have a higher percentage of racial/ethnic minority residents. A sociologist conducts a study to examine the links between high-pollution neighborhoods and child health. She studies a community that houses two toxic waste sites and three chemical plants. The community is 97% African American, and she finds that 15% of the children in the community suffer from asthma compared to a national rate of 9%. You can tell this is the case because it: Examines the link between neighborhood environment and child health Fails to consider the larger link between state policies and child health Examines the link between national policies and child health
