CSDE Affiliate Anjum Hajat (Epidemiology, CSDE Development Core Director) was quoted by The South Seattle Emerald on an article concerning air pollution in the Duwamish Valley. Community organizers are opposing a newly approved permit that allows a South End cement manufacturing plant to burn more tires for fuel.  Hajat discussed the health risks of air pollution and noted that residents of the Duwamish Valley, where 65% of residents are people of color and household incomes are among the lowest in the city, face multiple sources of air pollution.
