AVIATION NOISE AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE: THE BARRIO BARRIER*
使用Tobit和Logit回归分析一个主要商业机场的噪声污染暴露，发现种族是导致该地区西班牙裔承受不成比例航空噪声负担的主要原因。
ABSTRACT Aviation noise is a harmful pollutant, which has yet to be studied in the environmental justice literature. This paper uses Tobit and logit multivariate regression analyses to analyze noise pollution exposure from a major commercial‐service airport. It addresses the issue of whether people moved to the aviation noise‐impacted areas or the noise encroached on the people, and controls for economic and political costs as well as the possibility of racial and ethnic prejudice. The results indicate that ethnicity is the primary cause of the disproportionate burden of aviation noise pollution borne by Hispanics in the area analyzed.
