- W2600477070 abstract "As the world population becomes urbanized, issues of environmental health, justice and equity are growing in interest. In developing countries, improper waste management contributes to environmental related health risks. In Kenya particularly, dumpsites are located close to residential blocks in urban areas exposing surrounding communities to olfactory nuisance, toxic smokes and diseases. To document cases of local environmental health injustice, sub population at exposure risk to smoke plume was assessed using a case study of Chuka town open dump site. Framework adopted in evaluating potential health risks was that on principles of risk assessment and Geographic Information System (GIS) based modeling. In this study, land use refinement and dispersal modeling methods were used to estimate population at exposure risk. The findings shown about 55,162 persons living along the smoke dispersion route were at high risk of exposure to hazardous smoke plumes. The exposure risk showed a spatial variation across the blocks in relation to land use and terrain. Over 73 percent of population in the affected blocks engaged in informal sector employment and were the less advantaged groups of this town’s urban community. The results of this study are consistent with those of related studies which have shown that location of noxious facilities is often within neighborhoods of minority urban poor. For the case of Chuka town, relocation of the dumpsite to a less populated block and the engagement of affected communities in mitigating the injustice will ease the ecological burden currently borne by these sub population." @default.
